PROCTOR'S INTENTIONS.
1t Is Learned That He Does Not
Propose to Resign.

WASHINGTON, April Sit is learned
on good authority that Secretary Proctor
has no intention of resigning his office
immediately. His return from the West
to Washington was caused by personal
reason III addition to his desire to see
the president before the latter starts
on his Western and Southern tour. He
will resume the discharge of the duties
of his Office when he returns to Wash
ington. But if Gov. Page, during the
adjournment of the Vermont legis-
lature, which does not reaSSemble until
year from next autumn, should con-
clude to appoint Secretary Proctor to
theUnited States senate to fill the vacan-
cy caused by Senator Edmunds' retire
ment, it is stated by the same authority
that the secretary will accept the ap-
pointment. This action is not likely to
be taken until next fall, and meantime
SECRETARY Proctor will doubtless con-
tinue to be member of President Har-
riSon's cabinet.
% OMAHA, Neb., April 9.-Secretarv
Proctor and party passed through the
city this evening, en- route to Washing

mont. All this gossip about me in that con-
nection is without my knowledge. l intend
to go direct TO Washington without auy

Sensational Developments in
the Cash Murder Trial
in Texas.

HERMAN, Neb., April "a terrible
triple tragedy occurred to-day. Mrs.
Andrew Doll killed her two children
and then took poison, dying shortly
after committing the terrible deed. Mrs.
Doll but recently returned from the
state insane asylum, where she has been
confined, She was pronounced cured
by the officials of the Institution, and
her appearance and actions up to this
morning led her friends to believe her
mind perfectly clear. She has been all
invalid for several years, and about
year ago planned to murder her chill
dren and suicide, but her plans
were discovered and frustrated,
alter which she was adjudged insane,
and taken to the asylum. But on this
occasion her plans were very complete
and horribly successful, everything be-
ing favorable. Before the children, a
girl and boy, aged respectively seven
and nine years, were dressed, she took
them to the kitchen, and with an axe
crushed their skulls. She then replaced
the bodies in bed. nailed the doors shut,
and after taking a dose of concentrated
I've, climbed out of window and called
for the neighbors to come and see her
children. The door was forced open,
and the sight was sickening. On the
bed lay the mangled forms of the two
little ones, while in the kitchen was the
insane mother in the agonies of death.
The mother died in great pain a few
moments afterWard.

ONTO THEIR SCHEME.
Police Unearth an Elaborate Plan
of SWindlin0,

VI oNInuIl1S,
ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The police have
unearthed unique and elaborate sys-
TEN of Swinding that has been success
fully practiced in st. Louis and other
Western citis by an organized gang of
San Francisco confidence men, and the
arrest Of Henry Hoffman and Bert Bray
mer yesterday afternoon will involve, SO
the police claim, the proprietor of the
best and wealthiest pawnbrokerage
establishments in San Francisco
and reputable attorney at King
fisher, Oklahoma. 1t appears that
the Hoffman and Braymer system
is to play the ssipated-youth-and
had-to-leave-home" racket and present
to some well known and wealthy person
a pawn ticket bearing the name Of Ed
Ii. LichenStein, of San Francisco, for
some costly article and ask for loan"
on the ticket, which, after the glib
takers are through with their story, is
generally forthcoming. Hoffman and
Braymer were given twenty-fOur hours
to leave town yesterday. 1t was at first
supposed that they were working indie
pendently. but letter from the sheriff
OF Belleville shows that there is gang
of them in this vicinity, and letters
found Oh their person indicate that the
gang is well organized and apparently
we'll supplied with pawn tickets. An
unmailed letter found In Braymer's
pocket, addressed to Lichenstein, would
indicate that he is concerned in the
Swindle. r. j. Kester, the Oklahoma
attorney, is concerned in so far as he
advises members of the gang as to the
movements of the others.

PROSECUTING sHAFER,
An Insurance Agent the Victim of
a Relentless Enemy.

M IuSufdiiCG agent tnc : 1CClEn OF
Relentless Enemy.
SCRANTON. april 9.-NathanH. Shafer
a prominent insurance agent who occu-
pies a suite of offices in the Odd Fel-
lows building on Wyoming avenue, is
being prosecuted by relentless enemy.
Three times in as many weeks his office
has been broken into, ,and circumstances
indicate that it is the work of the same
person. Last evening a fire was dis
covered in his private Office and was
without doubt the work of an incen-
Gilry. To-day the Office was on fire
eleven different times. Smoke
would be seen issuing from a drawer
or desk and when an eyamin-
alton was made a blaze would be seen.
Buckets of water were kept constantly
on hand, so that the flames could be eX-
tinguished as soon as discovered. Chief
Madison, of the fire department, spent
an hour in the Office this afternoon,
during which time two fires broke out
before his very eyes. He made study
of the case and came to the conclusion
that some combustible chemical had
been scattered about the room for the
purpose of destroying the office. A
careful watch is being kept on the
premises. Large rewards have been
offered for information that VIII lead to
the capture of the fiend.

FrightfuI Consequences of the
Terrible Russian Scourge.

OMAHA, April Sd. E. Kimball,
ticket agent for the Northwestern road,
shot and killed himself this morning in
a Turkish bath room. No cause known.
Kimball was one of the oldest ticket
agents in the city, and was formerly
with the Burlington road. A couple of
weeks ago he suffered an attack of the
grip and the disease Is said to have un-
balanced his min d. For the past few
days he had been drinking heavily and
instead of going home, spent his nights
at the Turkish bath rooms under BOyd's
opera house. This morning, he went to
the bath room and asked to be given
dark room, as he wanted to sleep. Just
as the attendant turned his back, Kim
ball pulled out a revolver and shot HIM
self through the head, dying instantly.
He leaves wife and daughter.
NEW YORK, April 9. 9.-Another suicide
in Brooklyn this morning is attributed
to that dread Russian visitor, the grip.

merchant of that city, put an end to his
life at half past six o'clock this morning
by blowing his brains out in bed, at his
residence, 67 St. James place. He was
siXty-tive years old. The deceased had
been suffering from grip for some time
past, and said when he retired last night
that he was very i'll.

MURDER THE CHARGE.
ScottdaIe, Pa, Excited Over the
Arrest of Cant. Loar.


SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 9.-This place
Is in fever of excitement tonight
over the arrest of Capt. Loar and his
deputies on the charge of murder. The
suits are the outcome of the Morewood
riot. Early this morning James Nc
Bride and Robert Wood, two leaders,
appeared before Justice Eicher and
swOre out warrants for the arrest of
Capt. j. A. Loar, of Company E, N.G. P;
Harry Wilson, Richard Burns, Lewis
Davis, Cary Brown, Horan Reece,
Jacob Sundle. Steve Carso, Miles Hand
ana Elmer Nichols, on the above charge.
Officer Gay, armed with these warrants,
went to Mount Pleasant. and succeeded
in capturing all OF them save Reece and
Gilbert, who are thought to have
escaped. 1t is stated that the latter has
been located at Somerset, Pa, where he
will be promptly put under arrest.
They were brought here in Squadf and
taken to the squire's office in as quiet a
manner as possible, TO keep the news
from reaching the strikers. A large
crowd gathered, however, and the side
walk and street fronting the office were
soon a mass of humanity. The defend
ants waived a hearing and commitments
were taken out, on which they will be
removed to jail tomorrow morning. The
feeling among the strikers against Capt
Loar and his deputies is still very high.
and it is probable for these reasons that
they were taken to the Eighteenth
regiment camp, where they will be care
fully guarded until daybreak. Nobody
was admitted to the 'squire's Office. save
Secretary Parker and the newspaper
men. The defendants say they are not
worried over the ultimate outcome of
the suits, but expect it would neceSSi-
tate considerable trouble. After the
hearing they were marched to the
Eighteenth regiments quarters, where
they are being consoled by their COM
again wired that Capt. Loar did not give
the command to shoot, and that evil
dence would be advanced before the
courts. Officer Gay says that Loar at
first demonstrated against arrest on the
grounds that he was now serving the
state, but finally waived his objections
when convinced that he was wrong. On
reaching Greensburg tomorrow efforts
will be made to secure writ of habeas
corpus for them.
Judge Reyburn will preside over the
courts. The two soldiers who were tried
for diSOrderly conduct this afternoon
were dismissed by Mayor Kays on pay
ment Of So fine each. The district at
tOrney of Greensburg is blamed by
strikers as being instrumental in fixing
ball. and it was this bail question that
led to the sudden rearrest of Loar and
his deputies. SQuires Keener and Nc
Caleb, who released them on $500 on
charge of murder and held the strikers
in $1,000 bail, say they used their own
Judgment, which the strikers say is self
evident.

BIG GUNS.
Ordnance Officers Laying Plans
For Fortifications.

WAsHINGTON,A April 9.-The ordnance
officers at the war department have
been earnestly at work for weeks past
preparing to give effect to some of the
more important provisions of the fortifi-
cation appropriation act, which will 20
into operation after June 80. To avoid
loss of time, most of the advertisements
for proposals to supply material have
been prepared, and will be issued in adj
vance of the beginning of the new fiscal
year. Those ready for issue are as fol-
lows: For twenty-five sets of forgings
for steel field guns of 3.2-inch caliber;
for sixteen sets of forgings for steel field
mortarS of 3.6-inch caliber, and for six
teen steel carriages for the Same;. for
steel forging for large 8, 10 and 12-inch
rlf1ed coast defense guns; for s, 10 and
l2-lnch armor-plercing prOJectlleS; for
excavations and iron work at the new
south wing of the Watervliet gun fac
tory.
For the large coast-defense guns

essary forgings, and the material will
be assembled at the Watervliet factory
and the finished guns turned out. The

They are intended to replace the
small cohorns which are used in
trenches for shelling an enemy

Their range is nearly three times as
great as the Cohorn smooth-bor NOR
tars, the projectile is more than twice
as heavy and great accuracy OF fire is
obtainable. The weight of the piece is
about 525 pounds. so that it can be
easily transported in wagon OF moved
about by men in the trenches. The
armor piercing projectiles are to be
manufactured by domestic concern,
but upon specifications that will secure
the use of some of the modern Euro
pean patented processes. For their
procurement an appropriation of $780,
600 will be available. The work of
construction at Watervliet, for which
advertisements have so far been pre-
pared, will, it is estimated, cost about
$4,000. leaving S73.7 .742 of the total ap-

Short Hay Crop,

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.-In reference

the tightness of the hay market. local
dealer says that one of the reasons was
short crop last year. This alone, how

demand that has been made upon st.

rapidly. As much as $50 ton has been
paid for gilt-edge hay, and ordinary
grades have brought SIG and SIT.

not SO much due to the shortage in the Mis-
souri, as to the fact that we have been called
upon TO supply a much larger territory than
ever before and the consequence was that
about month ago the supply on hand was

DALLAS EXCITED.
The Cash Murder Trial Awakens
Great Interest.

DALLAS, Tex, April 9.-The trial of
W. c. Cash, of Mckinney, Tex, for the
killing of Edward l. Young is now on
and eXcites great interest. Fifteen let
ters written by Mrs. Cash were intro
duced as evidence to-day. They estab-
lish the fact that Mrs. Cash and Young
were on terms of criminal intimacy
and are very damaging to deceased.
The defense will endeavOr to prove by
experts that Cash was insane when he
did the killing. Mrs. Cash. divorced wife
of the prisoner, is witness for the de-
fense. Cash's wife was put on the
stand to-day, and her testimony was
sensational i'll the extreme. Many of
the letters that Ed Young wrote her
while she lived in Kentucky and before
she and Cash were divorced, were pro-
duced and read in court, all of which
bear evidence OF having been conceived
i'll the devilish desire to tear Cash's wife
from him and his three children and
ruin his home. Cash's move
ments before he killed Young in Dallas
early in February of this year, indicate
that he was insane from brooding over
the wrongs inflicted upon him.
