DETROIT special: The steamer City

owner of the tug. and Chief Engineer
Robson were drowned. The tug was
nearly cut in two, but was beached be-
fore it could sink, thrs saving the lives
of four other men on board.
KALAMAZOO. Mich, special: Later
developments in the case of Gilbert
Roswell. who killed his wife and then
committed suicide, indicate plainly that
he premeditatcd the killing of his wife.
He heard that she stayed in the neigh
borhood one night recently, and so he
went to u neighbor named Dowd and
borrowed the revolver. saying that he
wanted to kill gophers. He killed Mrs.
Roswell while in q mad rage because
she would not return to live with him.
After breaking both her arms she was
defenseless and an easy victim, no re-
volver being me- essary to complete the
butc hery, although after the first arm
was broke she relented and agreed to
return to him. Three years ago he was
fined for assauiting her, and she sold a
cow and paid his fine. She also com
menced divorce proceedings at that
time but dropped them.
DETROIT, Mich. special: Under the
state law county census of births and
deaths is taken every year, and about
one-half the reports for Wayne County
for 1891 are in. The enumeratOrs re-
ceive 10 cents for each birth or deati,
reported, and as an unusual number
OF names were turned in the county
auditors became suspicious and started
AL investigation. So far only the re-
suits for the First Ward OF Charles NJ.
WEIGH, enumerator, have been exam
ined, but a remarkable state Of facts
have been disclosed. Welch reported
1916 births and l.210 deaths, which
would warrant his receiving S3Ds. GO
from the county. Many OF those who
are credited with having received adj
ditions to their families will be aston
ished to know it. Couples who many
years ago gave up hope OF getting any
more children are calmly credited by
Mr. WEIGH as being among the lucky
ones. Chi,dbirths are located at vacant
houses, at furnace shops, etc. Mr..
Welch has killed off people with the
same expedition he used in bringing
them on earth, and in some instances
he says people died in 1891 for whom

fair on sunday II the Fair is Op ned
on That ay Their Exhibit shall be
Covered Other News Items.


PORTLAND, ore, ;, ecial; The first
topic of genera! interest in the Presby-
terian General Assembly concerned the
Columbian air, in dtsapproving the
section dubbed the "pariament OF re-
ligion." The discussion led to the adop-
tion Of resolution that ii the fair shall
be opened on the sabbath the exhibit
of the lresbytcrian Church will be
offered only on condition that it shall
be covered on that day. The reso. u
ton, as adopted, says: ''tur church
holds that the inspired word As it came
from God is without error. The vow Of
ordination recognizes that the Bibie is
the only infallibIe rule Of faith and
practice" 1t was recommended that
those officers OF the church who have
ceased to hold this view should seek
congenial places outside Of the dcnomi-
nation. At the afternoon session an
earnest plea for the deiiverance OF the
assembly against "tiIe practice OF lynch
ing negroes in this country, met with
decided approval. After the announce
meut of committees of conference on
Theological seninaries, an amusing
scene occurred upon the introdu tlon
of a reSo, ution calling the attention of
ministers. elders, and students to the
evil of the tobacco habit Each step
in the discussion was greeted with
roars of laughter and the resolution
passed with shout and the waving of
hats. A hearty vote of thanks was
given TO the moderator. clerks, the pas
tor of the church, the committees OF the
church, and the people of Portland for
their generous hospitality towards the
assembly. and the general assembly was
dissolved.

BLACK HILLS DIRECT.
Prospects That y New Line VIII II,
Built Via Rapid CITY.

The prospect Of direct railroad con-
nection between the Black Hills and ST.
Paul via the Rapid City, Missouri River
and St. Paul road have decidedly
frightened within the past few DAYS.
A committee OF the Eapid City Board
OF Trade and City Council sent to Chi
cago ten days ago report by wie that
they have found the affairs OF the Da-
kota, Wyoming and Missouri River
railroad in good hands, and in return
for and extendei the road by that city
have received a very satisfactory guar
ant that it will be completed within
the next six months This road runs
westwardly from RAPID City tn, ongh
the mineral districts OF the Black Hills
to the coal and iron fields OF Wyoming.
Work on 1t has been going on slowly for
nearly year past. Its completion
means the immediate establishment Of
more chlorination works to treat re-
fractory gold ores. and also reduction
works and smelters to treat both gold
and silver ores. The assurance that it
will be completed will help greatly
negotiations now pending for the COM
Lletion OF the road across the reserva-
tiOn to Pierre by which line st. Paul
would be practically ss near the Black
Hills rs Omaha or Sioux City.

TEXAS LUMBERMEN's CONVENTION.
They Meet in San Antonio and Will Take a

Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 12.-
There are between two hundred and
three hundred lumber dealers and
lumber manufacturers in the city at
tending the sixth annual convention
of the Texas Lumber Dealers associ-
alton which began its session here
yesterday morning. This class of
business men are not as well known
in this part of the Lone Star State as
in the prosperous piney woods of
East Texas where SO many of
them have their homes. The lumber
districts of Louisiana are also well
represented here, and taken alto
gether the attendance is very satisfac-
tory, although 1000 invitations were
sent out. These conventions have, it
is believed, resulted in much benefit
to the lumber industry of Texas here
tofore, and it is confidently expected
that further important action will be
taken at the present meeting, which
will tend to further advance the inter-
ests of the organization throughout
the state. The majority Of those
in attendance are making their
headquarters at the Menger,
and an informal conference was held
there yesterday morning at 8 o'clock
between several of those who had ar
rived up to that time. There was no
business of public nature however
transacted at that meeting. The gen.
eral meeting of the association was
called to order at about 11:30 o'clock
by President Gribble. B. f. Cobb
was the first to address the assem-
blage and introduced Mayor Callagh-
an who made brief address of well
come, granting the visiting delegates
the freedom of the city. He further
made few remarks of the advantages
San Antonio possesses and was loud
ly applauded.
Mr.. Gribble, president of the as
sociaSion arose and thanking the
mayor for his kindness said that his
courtesy will be highly appreciated
and the visiting delegates will have a
good word for San Antonio wherever
they go.
Secretary Drake then asked that
dues be settled and many responded
and he announced that trip to the

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

Der of soldiers and Indians were killed
Ihe soldiers, 200 strong, met the In
dams in defile of Sierra Blancos.
There were large number of Indians,
though. just how many is not
determined. The engagement la sted
eight hours, when the Indians disap-
peared through the mountains, leav-
ing the soldiers masters of the situa-
tion. This is the way the Yaqui fight
and makes them formidable ad-
versaries. They rise up in large
numbers, and when closely pressed
every .one becomes his own COM
mander and takes to the brush. They
fight the soldiers when equal in
numbers. The forces of Mexicans sent
for reinforcements when they will
pursue the renegades further into the
mountains.
