A Sleeping-Car Mystery.
:. F. CoNNELL, OF PORTSMOUTH, OHIO,
SHOT BY AN UNKNOWN MAN.

d. +. CONNELL, OF PORTSMOUTH, OHIO,
SHOT BY AN UNKNOWN MAN.
STAUNToN, Va, August 2.-When No.
2, eastbound Chesapeake and Ohio train
reached Staunton Saturday morning at 2
o'clock five passengers got off and walked
down the street. Just behind them came
man about thirty-fye years old without
hat and seeming very much excited. In
his hand was cooked pistol, and as he
approached the group be peered intently
into the faces of each. He then turned,
placed the pistol in his pocket and ran to
catch the train, and just as 1t was pulling
out Jumped on the rear sleeper, Waynes-
boro' Is ten miles from Stanton and halt
mile from Basic. Between the two last
named stations trains run slowly. Just
after starting from Waynesboro' man
entered the sleeper and pulled the curtain
back from berth occupied by daughter
of COL r. c. Marshall, of Portsmouth,
Va, her father being in the lower ONE
The occupant screamed, and the man
apologized, saying that he mistook the
berth and was looking for friend. He
then went to the berth beyond, occupied
by D. +. Council, of Portsmouth, Ohio.
and, pulling the curtain back, demanded
money. Cornell kicked at the intruder,
and, without another word, the man shot
HIM in the stomach. The assassin then
ran to the door, and is supposed to have
Jumped off Immediately. Search was
made. but no one in the car had pistol.
Connell is very seriously hurt, but was
conscious, and his description of his as
sailant corresponded with that of the
man who got off at Staunton. The wound
ed man was taken TO Charlottesville. he
is prominent and wealthy citizen of
Portsmouth, Ohio, largely interested i'll
Virginia development, being pioneer Of
Craig Valley Railroad and very large
landowner in that section.
1t appears that neither the conductor
nor porter of the sleeping-car knew OF the
shooting until informed of it by the pas
sengers near the berth of the wounded
man, nor did they see the assassin. The
only one who seems to have seen him dis
tInctly enough even for faint descrip-
ton was the conductor of the other part
of the train. Mr.. Cornell was on his way
to Richmond.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Aug. 2.-Mr. d. +.
Connell, who was shot in his berth Satur-
day morning on c. and o. train, was
made as comfortable as possible until he
reached this place, when he was taken to
a hotel near by and medical aid summon

the wound is quite serious and painful,

sarily prove fatal.

A Famous Sunday Case.
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST KING REMANDE
BACK BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST hiNG hEMANDED
BACK BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.
MEMPHIS, TENN, Aug, Re. S. Ham
mond, district Uuited States judge, has
handed down his decision in the now
famous case of R, NJ. King, the Seventh
Day Adventist. King was convicted a
year ago of Sabbath breaking, by plow'
ing on Sunday in Obion county, He ap
pealed to the supreme court, and the
sentence was affirmed. Then the Ad-
yentlsts and National Secular Association
took up the case. Don M. Dickinson was
engaged as counsel and the case was taken
to the Federal court last Nov. on writ o.
habeas corpus, the contention being that
the conviction was contrary to the bill OF
rights of Tennessee and the Constitution
of the United States. and that the defen-
dant was held prisoner by the sheriff
without due process of law.
The application was argued several
months ago and Judge Hammond has had
it under advisement ever since. The
opinion is lengthy and learned dOcn-
ment and dwells exhsustively on every
phase of the argument advanced In favor
of the religious prisoner. The defendant,
however, is remanded back to the custody
of the sheriff to pay the fine or serve the
time in lieu, according to sentence. The
decision is based not so much on the con-
stitutionality OF Sabbath laws as upon
the fact that King was convicted under
due process of Tennessee law, and it ID
not in the province of the Federal couit
to review the case.

Cuban Reciprocity Proclaimed.

Cuban Reciprocity Proclaimed.
The Presidents proclamation is the first
step toward putting into operation the
reciprocity provisions of the act of Octo
Der 1, 1890, in regard to Cuba and Porto
Rico, the Spanish islands of the West In
dies. That proclamation declares that
the schedules of articles of American pro-
duction and direct expectation to be adj
mitted to the ports of those islands as the
result of the recent negotiations with
Spain either wholly exempt from or at q
great reduction of duties constitute, in
the Presidents discretion and view, such
a measure of reciprocity as will hereafter
Justify the admission into the United
States of sugars, molasses, coffee, and
hides imported from the islands referred
to.
The trausitory schedule, which will 90
into effect on the 1st of September next,
and which is a mere provisional arrange
ment, enumerates q products, 30 of which
are admitted free and the remaining 7 at
reduced duties. The permanent schedule,
which will 90 into effect July 1, 1892, in
cludes IS distinct products or classes of
products, OF which 80 are exempt, 10 at a
reduction In duty of 80 per cent, Is at 25
per cent. and at low specific duties. An
Of the schedules, especially
the latter, will undoubtedly demonstrate
to the satisfaction of any unpreiudiced
mind the soundness Of the Presidents judg-
ment in this matter, and show that the
country has good ground to congratulate
Itself on the successful termination of a
negotiation undertaken to build up a
arge and vigorous reciprocal trade, which
cannot fail to be of immense benefit to
American commerce.

A Terrible TRAGEDY.

CATTLETTsBURG, KY, Aug. 2.-Wayre
Co., w. Va, was the scene Of a series OF
murders on Friday night. yr. Brumiield.
his wife and five children were murdered
in a most horrible manner ard their bodies
consumed by fire. About midnight fifty
Italian laborers became drunk and started
on a tour of devastation. The Brumlie!d
family were thought to have considerable
money. The Italians went to Brnmiield's
residence and were refused admittance.
Doors and windows were then forced
open. Mr. Brumfeld, with his two hall
grown sons, fought with DESPERATION but
we're finally murdered, their Threats be
ing cnt from ear to ear and the bodies re-
peatedly stabbed Mrs. Brumiield aud
her three little children were next killed
by the drunken Italians, who then search
ed the house for money and set it on fire.
Mr.. Brumfeld was Influential and
wealthy. Two or three years ago while
county commissioner lie opposed the
building of new courthouse, and thus
made many enemies. The courthouse
was built ard it is thought that Friday
nights work was the result Of The
feud, and that Brumfield's enemies piled
the Italians with liquor and thea pointed
the path to the residence.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

The city attorney of st. Paul has rendered
an official opinion to the effect that the city
can levy a special tax of l mill in the dollar
for the purpose of building spacious audi
forum for the accommodation of the next
national Democratic convention. The incl
dent affords striking illustration of the
perilous extension of the taxing powers of
municipalities. III the larger cities OF the
West where every device for advertising the
town is eagerly seized upon, property owners
are at times liable to be taxed for torchlight
professions, banquets, ice palaces. illumina-
lions, eXpOsitiOns and host of other
catchpenny advertising lodges. If ST. Paul
can tax its citizens to build hall for ma
tional political convention, there is surely no
limit which can be put to its taxing powers

The Times errs in its conclusion that
the city of st. Paul is taxing its citizens
ito build hall for national political
convention" There is no string tied to
the resolution to proceed at once with
the erection Of an auditorium common

Paul in this respect. While the excel
