The Senator's Reply to the Latest At
tacks Upon Him.
PHILADELPHIA, July S.-The Inquirer
publishes an interview with United States
Senator Quay, in the course of which he
characterizes the recent address issued by
the Independents as false so far as it re-
lates to him, and denies the truth of all
the charges made in that document. Re-
garding the charge that he irterfered with
the passage of the ballot reform and see
tional school bills, he says that on the con-
trary he favored those bills, and had
he been interfering in legislation he should
nave supported them. The attempt to con
nect him in any way with the Bardsley af-
fair he regarded as ridiculous. Bardsley,
he says, was not nominated by the poll
ticians, but was thrust forward as repre-
sentative of the business men.

THE EARTH WELL RID OF HIM.
A California Desperate Killed After
uniting wanton Murder.

SAN'FRANCIsCo, July S.--A tragedy re-
sulting in the death of two men and the
wounding of a policeman occurred yester-
day. A year ago Moriano Soto, wood
chopper, and one of the most desperate
characters in the state, cut and fearfully
wounded his vile and fed to parts I'M
known. The woman recovered. and few
months ago opened boarding house. Her
dodgers were Mexicans and mostly wood
choppers. Yesterday morning Soto re-
turned to the city, and called at the house.
His wife saw him in time to escape through
the back door. Soto entered the rear of
the house, where he saw a Mexican in q
room, and fired shot at him, but with
out effect
Shoots Man Through the Heart.
The Mexican escaped by a window.
Soto then went to another room in the
front of the house, apparently looking for
his wife, with the smoking pistol III his
hand. 4 longer named Nicholas Smith
was in the room holding the door. Soto
fired through the door shooting Smith
through the heart. The desperate then
started down the street with pistol in
each hand. Officers Edwards and Mona
han started after the murderer. When
within half block of him he opened fire
on the officers. After many shots had
been exchanged Soto ran into small
shanty, bolted the door and crawled under
a bed
The Murderer Riddled with Bullets.
Officer Edwards had exhausted his am
munition by this time, and was wounded
in the ann. He secured a rifle from a
house near by and shot through the door
of the shanty and under the bed. Soto
returned the fire for some time, but final
ly shouted that he would surrender, He
was dragged from under the bed and
found to have been riddled with bullets
He died in a few minutes. The officers
injury is not severe.

The dinner was very toothsome one,
served in most delightful manner, and
instead of toasts and speeches. bright
conversation and interesting talk about
the railroad business interests of Ehis
part of the state were INDUCED in. The
hospitable host greatly entertained his
guests with accounts of his travels in
Europe, and astonished them with the
information that he had looked into the
treasure tower of Potsdam, where the
German government has an immense
hoard in gold that has been gathered
since 1871, and which can only be used
in case of war. After having enjoyed an
incompatible petit diner and the de-
light OF bright and interesting intercom-
munication for a couple of hours, the
party broke up and returned to town.

Conflicting Theories.

Once upon midnight dreary
A detective formed theory
That man was being murdered in the street
block below;
He could hear him loudly calling
AS the wicked blows were falling,
And his keen detective instinct told him all he
wished to know.
By the sound his ear detected
That the blows must be directed
By man OF blond complexion with blue and
gentle eye,
And with legs q little banded,
Either right or else left handed,
And between four feet six inches and six feet
four inches high.
So he calmly sat and waited
Till the noise had all abated,
Then he stroled at leisure down the street the
corpse to note
There he met with Mrs. Leary,
Who herself had formed a theory,
For she saw the fight between O'Dooley's dog
and Grady's goat.
