E. Ballard, of saybreek, Ills, and Miss
Bertha Tson, iute of Baker City, Oregon,
and daughter Of tho late Judge Luther
S. Ison, OF the latter place, were the
parties to sensational tragedy this
morning in this city. DR.. Ballard came
to this city last Friday and secured a
license to marry Miss Ison. All day
Saturday Ballard engaged in attempts to
get Miss Ison to elope with him and
Sunday visited her frequently and beg
ged her to become his wife. She thought
much OF him, but begged him to post
pone the event until after her education
in college here was completed. Ballard
took his leave bidding her last adieu,
saying he would go to Chicago never to
return to bother her. This morning,
however, he appeared at her house and
asked to see Miss Tson just for a minute.
The interview was granted and while
in the parlor Ballard suddenly produced
a revolver and shot her twice, once in
the temple and once through the heart,
killing her instantly. With the smok-
ing revolver still in his hand, he rushed
wildly to the garden in the rear Of the
house and there shot himself five times,
once in the head and four times in the
region of the heart. He died in few
minutes.

to BE brought to Justice.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. u Although
this was a legal holiday and the offices
of the city departments closed for bus
iness, there was an important confer
ence at the Office of City Treasurer
Wright, at which the latter official
placed before District Attorney Gra-
ham all exidence in his possession rel
ative to the alleged derelictions OF the
five mercantile appraisers. The only
persons present at the conference were
the two officials named above and Jos
eph p. Cullen, private counsel OF City
Treasurer Wright.
The district attorney expressed great
surprise at the revelations that were
made to him in regard to the manner
in which the office of the mercantile
appraisers had been conducted, and an
nounced that the testimony in the
shape OF reports in the possession Of
the city treasurer were sufficient to war
rant the commencement OF criminal pro-
ceedings against the appraisers, Messrs.
Patton, Honseman, Hunter, Bell and
Crawford.
At the conclusion Of the conference
the district attorney asked the city treas
urer to allow him several days time, so
that his counsel might arrange the tes-
timony for the convenient use at the
preliminary hearing when the prosecu-
ton is brought.
Mr.. Wright acquiesced in this sugges-
ton and stated further that as soon as
the district attorney is ready he will
make the necessary atlidnvits on which
warrants will be issued against the five
appraisers.
Later in the day Auditor General Nc
Camant, who, jointly with the city treas
urcr, has the power OF appointing the
five mercantile appraisers, held long
conference with the last named official.
After the conference a letter of suspen-
sion was sent to the appraisers.

Double Sensation at Atlantic City-A Dnr-
ing gswimmer Loses His Life.
ATLANTIC CIrY, N. ]. September IA
death by drowning and an accident at
the boardwalk created much excitement
here yesterday.
Barney Mclaughlin, Of Philadelphia,
came down in the morning on the ex-
cursion OF the Ancient Order of Hiberni-
ans, and was accompanied to the beach
by his aunt, Mrs. Rose Mclaughlin, and
u friend named James Laughlin.
The two men went into the surf and
swan out together for q considerable
distance. The sea was rough and the
undertow unusually strong, and when
they started to swim for the shore they
found it to be q hard struggle.
Laughlin got in safely, but in q very
exhausted condition, and at once noti-
fed the life guards OF his friends dan
ger. A surf boat was Immediately
manned, but the waves tossed It over,
and the life guards were obliged to
swim to the drowning mans rescue.
They were too late, however, for Nc
Laughlin had disappeared for the last
time long before they reached
the spot where he had been struggling
for life. His body was recovered
shortly afterwards.
While the life guards were on their
mission OF rescue there was n terrible
commotion on the boardwalk and
beach. The cries of the drowning mans
aunt brought together an immense
crowd OF excursionists who crowded for
ward on the boardwalk to witness the
thrilling scene. Finally the railing
gave way and at least 200 OF the specta-
tors tumbled over in a heap on the sand,
a distance of about eight feet from the
plank walk.
Screams and cries for help filed the
air, and for the moment McLaughlin's
death struggle was forgotten. After q
vigorous effort the writhing mass Of hu-
manity was cleared up, when 1t was
found that, barring a few bruises, no
one was seriously hurt. Mclaughlin
was forty years old and unmarried. His
body was sent to Philadelphia to-day.

WORLDS FAIR SALARIES.

The Two West Virginia Commissioners
Have Tilt ut the Chicago Meeting.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE National Col

morning. The question Of reducing the
salaries OF officers created considerable
discussion.
Commissioner st. Clair, of West vir-
yinia, warned the commission that the
auditing committees proposition to re-
duce salaries Disseminated. 1t cut off
the vice chairman's salary and did not
touch the director generals larger sal.
ary. That would be taken by the South
rs u political move. He hoped the
commission would see the mistake in
such action and lot the news 90 forth
that there was no South or North; no
politics in the commission.
Commissioner Butt, also OF West
Virginia, Mr.. st. Clair's colleague, is a
Republican and objected to the lntima-
ton that politics had anything to do
with the salary cutting report. The
vice chairman (McKenzie) drew 5000
yearly for an Office which had no
duties. The funds threatened to give
out, and the only way 10 avoid d de-
flciency was to cut down needless eX-
penses and the committee had acted
accordingly.
Commissioner Waller appealed to the
speakers to drop politics and personali-
ties. He offered a substitute for all
pending motions, which was agreed to
By Mr.. Massey for the judiciary COM
mittee. It was adopted 81 to I, refer
ring the whole matter to the board OF

THEY MUST HAVE DREAD.
a German Comment on tho Removal Oi
the Pork Embargo.


BERLIN, Sept. 7.-The Freisinnigs
Zeilung to-day, referring to the removal
of the embargo upon the importation
of American pork, says that though it
is glad to announce tho abolition of the
pork prohibition, it regrets that duties
are still retained upon it and hopes
that the removal OF the prohibition
precedes the suppression Of the corn
tariff. The Fretsinnige Zeitlmq adds:
IF bread is dear the poor have little
left with which to buy meat"
Since the issuing OF the decree remoV-
ing the prohibition there has been con-
siderable buying OF Hamburg-American
Steamship Line stock, which has risen
seven points.
A Brussels dispatch says: The Inde-
pendent Beige to-day twits the German
Conservatives on the defeat Of their OPP
position to the resembling of the prohi-
bition placed upon American pork. 1t
says the Conservative organs almost
daily Diluted upon the danger lurking
in the use OF American meat, and adds
that the decree removing the embargo
placed upon American pork proves how
false were the allegations made as to its
unhealthy condition.
