A double murder and suicide occurred
in Spokane Falls, on the % inst, at the
Casino variety theatre. Charles Elliott,
faro dealer, who was occupying box
near the stage, drew pistol and fired
shots at the performers. One bullet
| took effect in the left breast Of Mabel
Dababian, killing her instantly. Another
lodged in the back of Carrie Smith, also
variety actress, infiicting fatal wounds
Elliott then placed the muzzle of the
revolver in his mouth and blew his
brains out. It is said the shots were in
tended for an actress who was on the
stage at the same time, of whom Elliott
was insanely jealous.
The United States supreme court rem
dered decision Monday which is i'm
portant in fixing responsibility upon
railroad companies for accidents upon
crossings. It confirms the Judgment of
of killing on a railroad crossing and says:
"While those using public highways are
under duty to keep out Of the way of
railroad cars while crossing and to exer-
else such care as circumstances make
necessary, railroad company in moving
cars upon it's road is bound to exercise
like care towards those who are obliged
to pass over its tracks. The right of
railroad company to use it's tracks for
the movements of engines and cars is no
greater in the eye of the law Than the
right of individuals to travel over a
highway extending across such tracks,"
The first permit for the inspection OF
cattle for export to Europe under the
new law was issued Saturday to Nelson
Morris, of Chicago. Morris received a
dispatch from Secretary of Agriculture
Rusk announcing the fact. Information
was also received showing marvellous re-
suits of the inspection system while yet
in imperfect operation before the pas
sage Of the new law The official figures
of Secretary Rusk show that during
January and February this year, Great
Britain received from the United States
3,4O9 head, Germany 1851, Belgium 265
and France 134. These figures, it is ex-
p aimed, show an increase in the foreign
cattle trade of the United States for the
two months of 1891 over the correspond
ing period of last year of nearly 80 per
cent.
April 6 is the anniversary day on which
Joseph Smith, Jr., is said to have receiv-
ed his revelation to found the Mormon
church. The annual conference of the
Church Of Latter Day Saints will be
held at Cortland, in Lake county, Ohio.
Cortland was the first home of the Nor
mon church. The membership of the
church has increased from sixty eight to
100 This is the original organization of
the Mormon church and is non-polyga-
nous. A bishop, apostle and minor Of
ficers will be chosen by the conference.
Among the delegates will be young
Joseph Smith, who was born at Cortland.
One of the interesting items of the busi- |
ness is to be the disposal of an offer of
100000 for the temple by parties who
les.re to remove it to Chicago for exhi
oition at the Worlds Fair.
A sensation has been caused at the
treasury department by the discovery of
4 counterfeit two-dollar silver certificate
20 nearly perfect as to be almost lmpos-
,ible of detection. The paper with silk
threads through it is for the first time
almost a perfect imitation in the coun-
;erfeit just discovered. So far as is
low known it is only used in counter
citing certificates Of the series of 1886.
It is estimated that there are now nearly
of these notes in circulation,
md the problem before the treasury de-
oartment is how to get them back into
he treasury and substitute new series
without embarrassment before any con-
siderable quantity of the counterfeit
lotes gets into circulation. This was
he subject of secret conference at the
reasury department Saturday between
Secretary Foster and leading officials OF
he bureau of engraving and printing. 1t
vas practically decided to suspend the
printing of 81 silver certificates and in
titute a new series of theisame denom-
nation. These will contain fvignette
# Secretary Window and be issued as
Don as the necessary plates can be en-
,raved. It will take about two months
o prepare the plates, and in the mean
ime the government will exert its ut
most endeavors to secure and destroy
he plates and other paraphernalia used
q the manufacture of the counterfeit.
