Roberts, who is known to the police as
''the Gorilla" will be brought back to

bank robbery on the West side over a

who is also a clever crook, Roberts
panned to rob F. G. Gehrke's bank, at
the corner of Milwaukee avenue and

have been making every effort to cap

hlIIeQ.
STARKE, Fla, May 31.-A terrible
tragedy occurred about two miles from
this city late last night by which d. l..
Alvarez, city marshal, and Prince
Albert, colOred man, lost their
lives. Prince had accidentally learned
the hiding place of negro desperate
named Murray. who is supposed to be
the man who shot and killed Deputy
Sheriff Robinson in Fernandina two
weeks ago. Prince could not keep his
secret till morning, but hurried into
town and told it to Marshal Alvarez, who
made up a possesOf five men armed
with Wlnchesters and. guided by PriE9-,
they rode on horseback to the cabin cf
a negro named Frank Adams, abode
three miles from here and near the
town of Hampton. The posse SUR
rounded the house and Prince went in
side unarmed to arrest Murray. Muir
ray resisted and finally seized his gun
and shot Prince dead, the ball passing
through his stomach. Alvarez aud
his men then opened fire on Murray.
it. No one was hurt. Finally Alvarez
and his men exhausted their supply of
cartridges. The marshal agreed to
stand guard alone while the posse re-
turned to town to get more men and a
fresh supply of ammunition. Two hours
later (after midnight) they returned
to the cabin and found it deserted.
Prince Albert lay dead near the porch,
and Marshal Alvarez was found in
corner of the yard near the fence with a
bullet hole in his head and stone dead.
Numerous search parties have been
formed and sent out after Murray. If
captured he will undoubtedly be

FIRED FIVE SHOTS.
One of Which Will Result in
Death.

NORFOLK, Va, May 31,-The talk of
the town to-day has been shooting af-
fair which may turn out to be a murder
The parties concerned were Otto Kahler
and John Kelly. Kelly married Kahler's
sister, who is the widow of Peter Nc
Clean, a sporting man who was mur-
dered here little over two years ago.
1t is said that owing to the fact that she
would not allow Kelly to handle her
money. he beat her and she left him.
This morning he tried, as he has done
several times before, to get an inter-
view with her at. the house of her
brother, where she has been living since
the separation. Kelly was met, MAX
ing his entrance to the house by rear
door, by Kahler, and he claims that
Kahler threatened to kill him if he did
not get out of the house. Kelly replied
that he would save him that trouble by
killing him first, and, drawing a revol-
yer. fired five shots, two of which took
effect in Kahler-one in the head, which
will in all probability prove fatal. and
the other IN the stomach, which did not
cause dangerous wound. Kelly was
arrested by two citizens, and taken to
the station, where he now is. The bull
let has been removed by the doctors
from Kahler's head and he is still alive,
but with few chances Of recovery.

THE JEWS ARE COMING.
Great Numbers of Them on Their
Way to America.

BERLIN, May 31.-The Jewish relief
committee here states that the daily av-
erage number of expelled Rursian Jews
passing through Charlottenburg is 600,
most of whom are going to America.
Relatives are waiting ready to provide
for some of them in Paris, and for few
in London. The police will not permit
them to enter Berlin, so they spend one
night at the Charlottenburg station, and
then proceed by train onward toward
their destinations. Herr Isaaks, the di-
rector of the relief committee, says the
committee suffers from no lack of
funds, money and goods being freely
given while number of the eXileS
are already supplied with money. The
eXpulsiOnS continue in st. Petersburg,
where groups of Jews, including we'll
dressed women, are to be seen on the
streets under the escort of gendarmes,
going to the police stations before they
are started for the frontier.
Moscow, May 31.-The Viedomosti
says that the Jewish emigration society
has engaged four Baltic steamers for
the exclusive purpose of carrying Jews
who are forced to emigrate. The Lon
don society, it says, is arranging for the
emigration of 10000 Jews, chiefly Poles
and LithuanianS. The ViedomoSti COM
ments with glee upon this as scheme
that will affect the English labor mar
ket.

one another's faiths. Every truth in
the creed is all and more than all that
1t is taken for in the literal sense by the
men who have nothingif they have not
a tact. Every great creed is a symbol,
It's sign somewhat which it does not
fully disclose. 1t is picture writing,
sacred hierogliphic." A creed is to be
read differently by different minds. A
mathematical formula does not admit of
different readings. A philosophical
and poetic statement concerning the
transcendent mysteries not only all ows
OF different meanings by different
mlnds-it necessitates such various
renderngs. We must always take into
account the parallaX in our obserya-
ton of celestial phenomena. 1t
IS by their changing meanings
that the words of great creed
prove TO be beams from that God With is
ever before the human soul as the in
finite truth, whose light falls on the
myriad spirits turning heavenward to-
ward him, breaking into the myriad
beauties. When the apostles speak
under inspiration, every man hears
them speaking in his own language"
When you find creed which has only
one meaning, you may be suIe there is
no deep meaning i'll it whatsoever. To
creed is possible only IN the case of
machine men reading a machine creed.
a chaln-gang is not the type of the
march OF man after the spirit of truth.
A creed must be read as having grow
ing meanings. The creed which is to
make room for growing man mnSt be
roomy, must have large thoughts to grow
up into, and elastic words to admit of
such expansion.
a Fixed and Final Creed
is contradiction of terms. Itassumes
the infallible which its origin disclaims,
and denies itself as the living growth
of the human spirit, which is its only
Justification. 1t must be reread with
every new knowledge. This need not
necessitate change of creeds. Before
country boys new trousers are bought
his mother lets down the tucks IN the
old ones, A creed cobbler's work may
be dispensed with only by creeds being
not a>thing to be mended, but an Or
ganism to grow and by itself putting
forth new shoots. A fixed and final
body of divinity is dead body of divin-
ity, a theological corpse. A creed is to
be read in the light of its central truth.
The heart of the creed is unquestiona-
bly, moral truth. In Jesus Christ God
is seen to be goodness. The Nicene
creed is then means to an end, and
that end IS character. Right belief is
belief which helps us to right life. Do
not let your zeal for the faith cause you
to lose 'taith.' Walk in the trust of the
heavenly Father, which Christ inspires,
follow the life which Christ patterns,
become partakers of the divine nature,
goodness, and so you will know the very
heart of your creed"

Precocity of an Iowa Girl in Com
mittin0 Crime.

mitting Crime.
CARROLL, TO-, May 31.-Many crimes
are charged to pretty sixteen-year-old
girl who is locked up in the county Jail.
She calls herself Katie Faulkner, but
says she is concealing her real name in
order to shield relatives from disgrace.
She says she was left an orphan when
only year old, and went to live with
an uncle. Her great passion was for
money, and seeing circular advertising
counterfeit money, she answered it and
placed quite an order. When it
came it was sent by express, with
S35 charges, and not having the
money 10 take IL out of the
Off ce, she ran away and went to an
other uncle, where she stole 500. After
securing the money she went to Coun-
Gil Bluffs and put up at the best hotel
IN the city. In short time she left
without paying her board bill, and ON
arriving at Panama she robbed a store,
secured a suit of mems clothes, and in
this disguise started for Defiance, where
she was arrested, but was cleared on
the condition that she would reform.
She says that she tried hard to keep
from stealing. but she could not resist
the temptation. She says she failed to
secure money and jewelry of Mr.. and
Mrs. Yates because they would not lie
still enough. but if she had had re-
volver they would have lain still long
enough for her.

A Duel Postponed Indefinitely by
Mutual Consent,

LOUISVILLE, May 31.-James B. Heth,
of Chicago, and g. Douglass Sherley, of
this city. between whom a sensational
personal encounter occurred last Mon
day. and who have been talking of a
duel ever since. have finally been per-
suaded not to shed each others gore.
Mr.. Heth was recently Informed that
certain remarks supposed to reflect on
a lady of his acquaintance had been
made by Mr.. Sherley, and thereupon
sought that gentleman at his home, and,
as the story goes, attempted TO strike
him when he opened the door. When
Sherley recovered from his astonish-
ment he tossed Heth into the street,
and subsequently demanded an ex-
PLANTATION and apology, intimating that
his hot Southern blood boiled, and that
he would be pleased to carve or shoot
Mr.. Heth at the latter's earliest conyen-
ience. Henry Watterson and DR.. ID. w.

szwALDs NEBRASKA MURDER
Story OF the Killing of His Second
Wife


WAYNE, Neb., May 31.-Matilda
Szwald, the wife of John Szwald. who
has recently confessed to the crime of
murder in California. came to her death
in this city on the night of the 24th
or early on the morning of Sep
tember 25, 1884. At the coroner's in
quest the husband of the deceased
woman testified that they had been
married about three months; she had
been married twice before that. Their
married life had been an almost contin-
nal quarrel, the woman being a person
of almost ungoyernable temper. That
she had been more than usually quar-
relsome for few days previous to her
death, and tie evening before had driV
EN- him out of the house and he was COM
PEELED to sleep in a barn across the way.
When he returned in the morning ne
found the door locked and proceeded to
cook his breakfdstin shed, near which
was built the shantY i'll which they
lived. That he then called the children,
vino got up and opened the door, when
he discovered the body OF the deceased,
which was hanging by a rope
within q few feet of the door
The story OF SZwald was received
with suspicion, while the deceased
was labOring under fit of temporary
insanity. Mrs. Szwald was a very large
woman, and when the neighbors rushed
in the body was hanging near the door
way with both feet firmly planted on
the floor. Still the theory OF foul play
was not advanced by any one. and
Szwald was allowed to depart and the
the affair was soon forgotten. The chill
dren we're Mrs. Szwald's by a former
husband and were quite small.

BALTIMORE, May 31.-A deal is in
progress between parties in Baltimore
and Macon, Ca, which involves the
control of the Macon Constr ucti0n COM
pany, and through it the Georgia
Southern and Florida company.
An option has been given upon
twenty-six shares of the stock of the
construction company to Gustavus Ober,
a banker of this city. There are fifty
whole shares at par value of $4,000
each, making the full capital of the COM
pany S500,00 AS ali of the corporations
associated with the Macon Construction
company are now in the hands of re-
ceivers and under control of the court,
a pretty large sum of money must be
combined to get them out of their
troubles and put them back into
the possession of their stockholders.
The Macon Constructian company is
also the builder and owner of the Macon
& Birmingham railroad, line being
finished between the two cities, and
also holds controlling interest in the
Macon & Savannah Construction COM
pany, which is building line called
the Macon 81 Atlantic railroad from
Macon to COLLATION.. The control of the
Macon Construction gives the manage
ment of the three lines into the hands
of the one who holds the stock.

the day. This evening horses and car
riage were found in the creek near
town, but vigorous search of several
hours failed to show any evidence of
any of the parties. and it is certain that
all three are drowned, as the water is
twenty feet deep and a strong current
IS running. A large searching party is
