The Farmers Debt to Mckinley.


The people have 10 pay the penalty for not
buying what Mr.. Mckinley thinks they ought
TO buy. The manufacturer. as a cOmpensa-
ton Tor the eleven cents pound he pays on
clothing wool imported gets a specific duty Of
from thirty-three to forty-four cents pound
on cleths besides an ad valOrem duty Of forty
10 fifty per cent The specific duty is known
As a Compensatory duty" because 1t is in
tended T. offset the duty on the raw material
in point Of fact II more than offsets II. The
net effect of Mr.. McKinley's experiment on
the Ohio wool-grower is that the latter pays
more for his wooden goods and gets less for
his wool. This is the way Major Mckinley
is helping the farmers Of his own State.

MURDERED FOB HER MONEY.
A Widow and Her Children Killed and

Burned by . Farm Hand.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. 27.-[ Special T.
Tuesday morning before last the house OF
the widow of James Kines, on the Warren
ton Branch Railroad, just above Calverton,
was burned, and the remains of Mrs.
Kines and her two girls were found in the
debris, showing every trace of a foul mur-
der. Lee Helm, farm hand, and Joseph
Dye, with whom he lived, were arrested,
Hefin having first reported the fire with
out going near the house. Detectives and
Fauquier authorities have worked hard on
the case, and last night the evidence was so
strong against the accused that Judge Keith
ordered them taken into the country and
then to Alexandria by the first train for
safe keeping.
The Warrenton people declared they
would either lynch or bum the guilty ones
at stake. Coming down Hefin confessed,
saying he went to Mrs. Kines' and asked for
money and on being refused proceeded to
open her trunk. She pulled him away and
he picked up stick of wood and killed her,
and when the children began crying and
making a noise he killed them each after
the same manner. He got the money,
washed the blood from his shoes and CLOTH
ing, hid his plunder and went about his
work. Next day he went back, and finding
the bodies as he left them fired the house
and when well ablaze informing others, say
ing he feared going near as he was stranger
thereabouts. He exonerated Dye. Hefin
is about 30 and is typical countryman
from Stafford. He seems wholly uncon-
cerned but perfectly sane.

Rumors Rife That Civil Service Reform
Precepts Will Be Carried Out.
WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-[Spec,al 1.-The
selection of Minneapolis as the place for
holding next years Republican Convention
may not be the only political honor in store
for the loyal and enthusiastic Republicans
of the Northwest. The statement has
heretofore been published to the effect that
the President is considering the advisa-
bility of promoting General Lewis A.
Grant, Assistant Secretary of War, to sue
ceed Secretary Proctor, is given credence
by private dispatches received in Washing
ton to-day. 1t is said that the President
and his Cabinet advisers think it would be
a good stroke of policy to give such a
striking illustration of the administration s
loyalty to civil service reform, and that the
appointment of General Grant would also
be much popular in political way than
that of Ex-Governor Cheney, of New Hamp-
shire
The presence of Governor Cheney in
Washington just at this time gives currency
to the rumor that he is to receive the honor
it is fact that at one time the President
had practically decided to appoint him.
Mr.. Harrison and Mr. Cheney are old friends,
however, and the latter comes often to
Washington to see the President, so it is
not altogether certain that his present visit
has any special significance. 1t was SAID at
the War Department to-day that there are
several indications that General Grant is
about to vacate the office of Assistant Secre-
tary, but it is not thought by any means
that he is to leave the department.

FOUGHT FORA LADY'S HAND.
THE DUEL BEGINS WITH FISTS BUT
ENDS WITH A PISTOL.

When One Combatant Found He Was
Losing the Mill He Shot His Rival in
the Breast, Infiicting What May Posi-
bly, Prove . Fatal Wound.
ST. MARYs, O., Nov. 29.-[ Special. 1.-The
little village of Five Points, 20 miles north
of this city, is all torn up over sensa-
tional duel which took place near there this
morning. Barron Wharfage and Godfrey
Hsvere, two popular young farmers, were
both madIy in love with prominent young
lady of the community.
This morning they met on a public high
way and resolved to settle their claims then
and there, with the provision that whoever
was defeated was to cease his relations for
ever with the young lady, whose name Is
withheld.
The fght'was soon raging desperately,
Wharfage leading with stunning blow
under Havere's chin, who attempted to re-
turn the compliment, but was cut short by q
roaster. Becoming frantic and realizing
that he was getting the worst of it, Havere
drew a revolver and fired at his rival, the
bullet entering the breast, and, ranging up
ward, produced dangerously and perhaps
fatal wound.
Several parties were attracted by the
shot, and Havere, seeing he was being
approached, fled. The injured man was
taken home and properly cared-for.
