Splendid Progress Made on

Railway.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Representa-
tive Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, was today
asked whether or not he was candi-
date for election to the United States
senate. In reply he said:
Il had hoped not to be pressed for an
answer to that question at this time,
but, since continued silence on my part
seems only to be fruitful of misrepre-
sentation, [ will define my position.
There is undoubtedly widespread sem
tlment in PENNSYLVANIA against the re-
election of Mr.. Quay. In this sentiment.
wholly apart from any considerations
personal to myself, sincerely concur.
If that sentiment shall takeform in my
favor, and l be elected to the highly
honorable and responsible Office of
United States senator, shall appreci-
ate the honor, and to the best of my
ability perform its duties with fidelity
and with loyalty on all occasions to the
declared principles of the Republican
party"

PLUMB WAS TOO SOON.
A HomiIy on Combinations That
Last Its Point.

Last Its Point.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-A humorous
story of an incident that occurred behind
the closed doors of the senate during the
session yesterday has leaked ont. Sen
atOr Plumb, of Kansas, chairman of the
public lands committee, took occasion
to criticiSe the reported confirmation of
the register of land office in North
Dakota, and called attention to the fact
that no nomination had been acted up
on by his committee. Mr.. Plumb de-
livered quite all earnest lecture TO the
senate upon the careless way in which
combinations were being rushed
through and inStanced the fact that
on the previous day over 800 nOmina-
tiOns had been confirmed in thlrty-fVe
minutes.
He said that he was aware that the
recess appointees would not get their
salaries if they were not confirmed, but
he did not believe that it would cause a
great amount of disarrangement in the
public service if combinations were de-
layed day Or even week. while the
character and fitness of the nominees
were made subject of inquiry. He
moved that the confirmation be recon-
Sidered.
Senator Harris, of Tennessee, sug-
gested that perhaps the president had
been notified, in which case reconsider
alton was impossible, and while this
matter was being looked INTO, Repub-
lican senator made few remarks in
the line of Senator Plumb's talk. He
was interrupted by Senator Henderson.
who was presiding, and who announced
that the report of the registers con-
tirmatiOn was mistake on the part of
the clerk, as confirmation had not oc-
CURED. There was general laughter at
this statement.
Senator Plumb ended the episode by
another little speech, in which he said
he did not regret his previous remarks
and expressed the hope that while this
instance had -righted itself, senators
would still feel the necessity in the
future for avoiding undue haste il the
matter Of combinations.

A MANIAC MURDERER
Kills One, Wounds Two Others
and Suicides.


and Suicides.
BROOKLYN, Dec. 1S.-Michael Har-
vey, a bOilermaker recently released from
an insane asylum, this afternoon, after
shooting and killing one man and Sc
verely wodnding another and a woman,
placed the muzzle of the revolver in his
mouth and blew his brains out. The
tragedy happened at the boarding house
occupied by Mrs. Catherine Duffy.
About noon today Harvey came home
to dinner, and was followed soon after
by John COnnertOn and Samuel Dick
erson. The three sat down at table
in the kitchen and ate their dinner,
nothing peculiar being noticed In Har-
vey'S action.
Before they had quite finished dinner,
Harvey arose, walked to the bureau,
picked up fve-chamber revolver and
came toward the two men. They were
quick to realize their danger and made
an effort to escape. Harvey then fired
at COnnertOn, sending a bullet through
his head, killing him instantly. Harvey
stood between DickersOn and the door,
and the latter realizing the situation,
made for the window. when Harvey
fired, wOunding DickerSOn in the arm.
He managed, however, to open the win
dow and slide down the hre escape into
the yard. The noise of the shooting at
tracted other tenants and all rushed eX-
citedly down the stni~S.
Among them wa .-1, Mary Dicker-
son. As she passed the door of the
room in which Harvey, was standing
third shot was fired and bullet passed
through her right hand. By this time
the dozen families who occupied the
house all made their escape with the
exception of Mrs. Duffy. As the crowd
stood looking at the house from the out
side, Mrs. Duffy was seen to come to a
window on the second floor ana before
any one could shout to stop her she
jumped to the sidewalk. She was
picked up and carried to a neighbours
house where her right leg was found to
be fractured besides sustaining severe
internal injuries.
The police quickly arrived, and on
going up 70 the room where the tragedy
occurred, Harvey was found lying dead
with the muZZle of a revolver in his
mouth. Only two days ago Harvey
was discharged from the insane asylum
as cured, and Immediately went to
board with Mrs. Duffy.

FOUGHT TO PAY TAXES.
Cincinnati Citizens Engage in a
RiOtOus Scramble.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1S.-A riot was
narrowly avoided in the county treas
urer's office here this morning, The
widest excitement prevailed for half an
hour aud police had to be called to dis
perse the crowd. Usually taxes can be
paid Dec. l, but owing to the
unavoidable delay to-day was the first
day OH which they could be received.
This morning fully 1000 taxpayers
gathered in front of the court house
waiting for admission and when the
doors were opened there was a mad
rush to the treaSurer'S office.
All were anxious to pay before next
Monday, when the penalty of 10 per
cent will accrue. A number of parti-
tons were smashed in the wild scram-
BILE, and the crush was SutfOcating. Five
women and man tainted and were
passed out over the heads of the crowd.
People were wedged in the struggling
mass so that they could scarcely
breathe. One woman became hySter-
zeal, and a man near smashed a heavy
$50 pane of plate glass, and through
the opening made she was taken to the
auditors Office and attended to. Men
fought and swOre and struggled furi-
Ously to get at the receiving clerks.
While the tumult was at its height
the city's money was hastily put into the
safe and locked up, as there seemed to
be an inclination on the part of some of
the crowd to make rush for it. A call
for police was sent out by the clerks,
and two patrol wagons and fourteen
men responded. In the midst of the
noise and struggle County Commissioner
Staler jumped upon the railing. and
quietd the crowd by telling them that
the time would be extended to Jan. 10.
Upon this the crowd gave a cheer,
and, the police arriving just at this
time, the room was cleared. and bus-
ness proceeded quietly. Then Mr..
Staler hastily called special meeting
of the county commissioners, and issued
an official order extending the time of
payment to Jan. 10. Notices to this
effect were posted. Pickpockets stole
number of purses in the crush. There
were nc arrests -Iuase, and everything is

PARTISAN BLINDNESS.
Three Senators Who May Oppose
Judge Dallas,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-It is said that
there is disposition on the part of
some Republican senators to resist the
confirmation of Mr.. Dallas, of Pennsyl-
vania, one of the Democrats nominated
by President Harrison this week for
circuit judgeship. The opposition is
said to come from Senators Quay and
Cameron, seconded by Senator Higgins,
of Delaware. In regard to this appoint
ment Senator Higgins said he cOnsid-
cred that the president had made a
grievOus error in the appointment of
Democrat to that place on Penn
syIvania circuit.TThe equilibrium of two
parties had been secured, he thought,
by the appointment of Chief Justice
Fuller and others by Mr.. Cleveland.
There was no danger, he said, that
there would be too many Republicans,
for the parties were so evenly divided
that there was no opportunity for
change at any time. The senator did
not want to be considered as rejecting
upon the president i'll any way what
ever.

Polk county, with 6S3 Republican votes

AN ARSENIC FIEND.
A Man Murders All His Relations
by Poison.


BRUSSELS, Dec. Is. "A dispatch from
Namur says that a shoemaker named
Nanderavers, who was on trial there on
the charge of attempting to poison his
brother, has been found guilty and
sentenced to death. The evidence ad-
duced by the prosecution showed that
Vanderavers murdered three of his
brothers and a sister before he made the
a tempt to take the life of his other
brother. VanderaYerS was prompted
to the murders by cupidity. He in
tended TO kill the whole family num-
bering Seven persons, in order to
obtain their small savings. He
poisoned two brothers and a sister In
the autumn of 1889, and younger
brother in February, 1891. Another
brother was seized with a mysterious
illness i'll March last, but the doctor,
suspecting arsenicaI poisoning, gave
antidotes and saved his life. The pris-
oner'S laundering attempts to divert
suspicion on that occasion led to his de-
lection. Arsenic was found in his house
and the prisoner confessed to the magiS-
trate that he put arsenic in the first
victims coffee and murdered the others
by putting arsenic on slices of bread
and butter intended for them.
