CAUGHT FOR AN OLD CRIME.

A Western Editor Proves the Nemesis OF
Gang of Murderers-An Assassination n
of 1882, the Perpetrators of Which Are
just Being Brought to Justice.
WAUPACA, Wis, April S.-[SpeciaL J.
w. H. Mead, an aged banker of Waupaca,
was found dead in the private Office of his
bank on the morning of October 8, 1882, his
head having been blown of by heavy
charge of buckshot, supposed to have been
fired through an open window but few
feet from where he was standing at the
time. His murderers, it is thought, irst
compelled him to open his safe and give
them what money he had-about So, 900
and then, fearing that he had recognized
them, killed him after getting outside.
Detectives were unable to find the mur-
derers. But Edward Gordon, editor of the
Waupaca Post, never allowed the matter to
rest, and the result of his persistence
was the arrest, to-day, of four of the lead
ing residents of this city, charged with the
commission or guilty knowledge of the
crime. The arrests were made upon indict-
ments returned by the grand jury.
The men under arrest are Assemblyman
Alfred R. Lea, Sam Stout, Alfred Pail and
David Holmes, all of this city. Stout
is accused as principal in the muir
der, and Lea, Pail and Homes as
accessories-Lea as an accessory after the
fact, it being alleged that he has had
knowledge of the crime since November %,
1890. Lea and the officers, accompanied by
many of Lea's friends, went to Stevens
Point and gave bail
Stout has been frequently mentioned
in connection with the case. He was q
saloon keeper at the time of the murder.
The arrest of Holmes was the surprise Of
the day, as his name had never been mem
toned in connection with the affair. Pail
was a livery man at the time of the murder.

WHAT 1T REALLY IS.
The Most Dangerous Of Modern Disorders

The Most Dangerous Of Modern Disorders
Clearly Defined-Pncumonia and What
Causes 1t.
There has been great mistake as to what
pneumonia really is. People, and even some
physicians, have called it a dangerous dis
ease Pneumonia is always an after effect
If the system is run down, weakened, debil-
itated, if the life is at low ebb, the lungs
may fill up and the person die suddenly, and
ever died of pneumonia when the body was
strong, vigorous and healthy. 1t comes upon
one when weakened by grip, by a severe
cold or overwork and a generally weakened
condition. Such being the case, how can
this dreadful trouble known us pneumonia
be prevented or warded off? Manifestly by
strengthening and fortifying the body by
having the health and strength SO secure
that pneumonia will not attack, or if it
should, can easily be warded Off This can
be done by careful living, careful diet and a
moderate use OF pure stimulant. To gently
assist nature a stimulant is required, some
thing that adds to the life and vigor. Moth
ing Tor this purpose can equal pure whislSey
and it should be borne in mind that the only
pure and medicinal whiskey which has re-
ceived the unqualified Endorsement OF ply
sicanS and scientists is Duffy's Pure Malt
1t is no ordinary whiskey, but possesses
properties known to no other article. 1t
will effectually ward off pneumonia and has
saved the lives of thousands OF people. 1t
should be remembered, however that it is
the only whiskey which can accomplish this,
and any druggist or grocer who seeks-to con-
vince you to the contrary is deceiving. In
sist upon having Duffy's Pure Malt.

An Orange Rebellion Certain When Ire
land Gets Her Parliament.
LONDON, April S-A meeting in Belfast
of the Ulster Defense Committee, the Mayor
presiding, to arrange for convention, went
degree beyond the recent Ulster Com
moners' gathering in the violence of their
TRADES. The pretense of secrecy of the pro-
ceedings enabled the speakers to engage in
warlike trumpetings, and the resolutions re-
corded listers determination to have moth
ing to do with the Dublin Parliament,
which is certain to be controlled by men
who are responsible for the crimes of the
League, and who are mere tools of clerical
domination: and an attempt to set up such a
Parliament will inevitably result in dis
order, violence and bloodshed to an extent
that shas been unknown in Ireland for a
century.
Major Saunderson denied that the British
Parliament had anv right to hand them
over TO another Legislature which they
would never otev, and the sentiment was
received with frantic cheering T. w Rus
sell predicted tenfold increase of troubles
in Ireland under the Dublin Parliament.
General and Executive Committees were
appointed. The public sense of the danger
and Importance of this agitation is growing.
Over 100 non-conformist Irish ministers
have agreed to be deputies for the Obstetrics
and stump Great Britain to arouse a re-
ligious animus The Irish Unionists in
the House of Commons affirm that though
their policy of resistance to the Dublin
Parliament is limited to a refusal 10 paw
taxes, an active, armed opposition from the
Orangemen is inevitable.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
CANTON, April s.-A most deplorable
tragedy occurred here this afternoon by
which L. T Waltenbaugh and John Nc
Curdy lost their lives, and Mrs. McCurdy
was seriously wounded. 1t occurred in
McCurdy's house, where the killing was
done by a revolver in the hands of McCurdy.
There were no witnesses to the shooting,
and the particulars can only be guessed at.
The first intimation of the occurrence was
the hearing by H. j. Shorb, who was work
ing on building adjoining the McCurdy
lot of pistol shot. He paid no attention
to it until Mrs. McCurdy was seen standing
at the fence. Her hands were appraised and
she exclaimed, "I'm shot, and am dying. !"
Mr.. Shorb assisted her to the house in
which he was working.
McCurdv came over and asked her to go
back with him to the house. He had re-
volver in his hand. Shorb demanded the
revolver before she should return, which
McCurdy handed over.
Shot His Wife Second Time.
His wife then started home. McCurdy
went into the house and came out with an
other revolver His wife started across a
Mr. Shorb then assisted her to neigh
boris house and started back.
In the meantime another shot had been
fired. When Shorb reached the yard Nc
Curdy was lying there unconscious and
bleeding profusely. The police were then
notified They responded, and several
physicians hurried to the scene. The first
attention was given to Mrs. McCurdy. She
was conscious but weak, and could not talk
much. She said McCurdy had shot Walten-
baugh and her and then himself She was
shot in the left temple and back of the.
right ear.
The house where the shooting had oc-
Cured was next visited. McCurdy's body
had been carried into the kitchen. He was
shot in the right temple and soon after
died In the sitting room was found the
body of L. I. Waltenbaugh. He was shot
in the right temple, and had evidently died
instantly. After receiving attention Mrs.
McCurdy was taken to the hospital. Her
wounds are probably not fatal.
Green-Eyed Jealousy the Motive.
1t is thought the cause of the tragedy
was McCurdy finding Waltenbaugh with
his wife in the bedroom and parlor COM
bined A window opening upon the yard
was broken. it would seem, from the out
side, and the curtain looks as if a shot had
been fired through the opening. 1t is sup
posed that McCurdy, looking through the
window, saw them together, and fired into
the room where Waltenbaugh was found.
There was mark on the plastering which
indicates that.atter firing the first shot Nc
Curdy waited on the outside at the door
until Waltenbaugh came out, and fired
again. Waltenbaugh is an aged plasterer
with wife and several children. His fam
lily is highly esteemed. McCurdy is
somewhat younger, and also a plasterer
He has been married for several years and
has child 1t is said he had previously
his domestic affairs.

SOUTHERN VETERANS MEET,

The New Orleans Gathering Enthused by
Old Comrades-The Flag Is Furled but
the Cause 1t Floated for They Say Is
Immortal.
NEW ORLEANS, April 8.-The Confeder-
ate veterans have been blessed with beauti-
full sunshiny weather for their reunion,
which began to-day. The soldiers who
wore the gray met again, after years of sep
aration, to fraternize and to recall the mnl-
tiple incidents of that warlike epoch of 80
years ago.
One of the features of the day was their
convention at Washington Artillery Hall.
The hall was handsomely decorated. 1t was
IL o'clock when General W. j. Behan.
of the Louisiana Division United Con-
federate Veterans, called the meeting to
order. He made brief and eloquent ad-
dress welcoming the delegates, many OF
whom came from a long distance. "God
seems to have welcomed the veterans" said
General Behan, 'by giving them such a
beautiful, sunshiny, balmy day, typical of
fair Louisiana's smiling skies, for their
first day of me eting."
Mayor Shakespeare was then introduced
to the meeting by General Behan. A round
of applause greeted the Mayors appear
ance. His Honor voiced the pleasure of
the citizens at extending to the dele
gates the hospitality of the city.
He said: 'T cannot cali them strangers but
members of one family" The chairman
asked if Governor Nichols was present.
No answer came.
General j. B. Gordon was next intro
duced, and was greeted bv tremendous ap-
plause. General Gordon in loud, resonant
voice said: 1.-TWO thoughts impress me
50 stand here. First, abounding wealth
of kindness and affection extended to us
by glorious people: and, second, our pow
erty OF words to express our gratitude.
Here are gathered from all parts of the
South grizzled veterans of the South; griz-
zled veterans of that once memorable and
forever immortal Confederacy." Loud ap-
plause.1
General Gordon spoke of Lee, of Hood
and others, and caused the veterans to
demonstrate their vigorous appreciation of
his eloquence. He next spoke
of the valor and loyalty of the Confederates.
''The old flag has been furled forever;
the cause of separate national existence
lives now only as memory. Old things
have passed and a new era has come and
now we are all American citizens" Deaf
ening applause. General Gordon conclud-
ed his speech, took the chair and called to
order the Convention of United Confederate
Veterans.

The Correspondent of the Thunderer Is
Watching Americans in the Argentine
Uncle sam to Have a Coaling Station

Uncle sam to Have a Coaling Station
There-The Negotiations Progressing.
. LONDON, April S.-A special to the Times
from Buenos Ayres says that Mr.. Pitkin,
the American Minister to the Argentine
Republic, and Admiral Walker, Comman-
der of the American Squadron, have almost
daily conferences with the Uruguayan Min
lister of Foreign Affairs. A quasi secret
agreement has been arrived at by
which Uruguay guarantees to pro-
vide a depot for Goals and provisions
for the United States navy. The Uruguay
Minister and the Collector of Customs
spent the day yesterday in looking for a
suitable spot for depot to be used osten-
fammable goods. Libertad Island, in the
Bay of Montevideo, would suit,
but the Government would be re-
quired to rescind the lease held by
the present holders. The American officials,
the Times correspondent adds, so ably used
the fact of this generous offer of Uruguay
in their negotiations with the Pellegrini
Government that they induced the latter to
entertain a proposal for the concession of
land for an American naval depot at the
mouth of the Rio De La Plata, In the Ar
gentine Republic {.
The foreign diplomats agree that the
speeches of Minister Pitkin and Mr.. Fish
back, Secretary of the American Legation
at Buenos Ayres, at the banquet given by
the officers of the American Squadron, were
indiscreet The annoyance of the people
of the Argentine Republic, the correspond
ent adds, will increase when they learn of
the role they have been made to play in the
Montevideo negotiations, according to the
details that are now leaking out.

to make love to Mamie Hays, the pretticst
girl in the village OF Hanging Rock, but
she rejected his advances. Last night Nc
Daniels went into the kitchen with the girl
and renewed his love making, declaring
that he could not and would not live with
out her. Then he insisted that she must
accompany him to Ironton and get mar
ried.
The girl still refused to 60, and he seized
hatchet, shouting: "Niarry me or die"
and sprang upon her She turned and ran,
and he swung the hatchet, burying the blade
into the back of her head, splitting it open
and telling her to the floor. Again and
again he struck the PROSTATE form, each
blow crushing her skull, any of which
would have killed. He then drew razor
and severed the veins on each wrist and
bled slowly to death. He fell by the side
OF his victim, their life blood mingling as
it flowed.
