Excitement at Dubuque Over

Boston, March 6.-AbOut 2 o'clock
this morning Fayette WEIGH. an actor.
was shot and killed by William F. Elan
merry, variety performer, professionally
known as William j. Gould The shoot
ing occurred at theatrical boarding
house, No. 10 Dix place, where WEIGH
occupied a front room on the second
floor. 1t is said that soon after Flannery
and his wife returned home from the
theater last night they and Weldh had
a discussion over some personal mat
tiers, during which Welch called
Mrs. Flannery some hard names.
Flannery went to Welch, and,
failing to get retraction from
that individual, fired the fatal bullet
just as Welch was approaching him in
a threatening manner with hands up
lifted. Welch fell without a moan or
sign of life. FlannerY at once retired
to his room, and sat down quietly. The
police were OH the scene within FIVE
minutes and placed Flannery under ar
rest. He acknowledged doing the shoot
ing, but said it was unintentiOnal. His
intention was to fire over Welch's head,
but he missed the mark by about an
inch. He said he could not bear to have
Welch abuse his wife in such a vile and
scandalOus manner. Mrs. Flannery is a
woman of about twenty-five and is very
fascinating. Several theatrical people
who were in the house at the time of
the shooting have been held as witnesses.

WHERE is j. w. POWERS?
A Prominent Chicagoan Thought
to Have Shielded.

CHICAGO, March 6.-James W. Pow
ers, former board of trade operator,
who lost a fortune in the wheat pit. is
thought to have committed suicide. Mr..
Powers disappeared from his home on
Twenty-first street, near Blue Island
avenue, Feb. 8. He went to the Grand
Pacific hotel the afternoon of that day
and left what money he had, about SIS,
with one of the clerks. He then sat
down and wrote letter to his wife,
telling her that she would never see him
again. He recounted his miSfOrtunes.
and said that as he was unable to obtain
employment and was only a burden
to his friends he had determined
to throw himself into Lake Michigan.
The missing man is SiXtyfive years of
age. He had lived i'll Chicago since
1873 During the war he conducted
large hotel in Philadelphia, and specu-
lated in various ways, accommodating a
fortune estimated at over 100000. Com
ing to Chicago he bought membership
on the board of trade, and Speculated
heavily. He was plunger, and fortune
favored him for a time, but reverSeS
finally came. His wealth rapidly slipped
away, and in 1884 he found himself a
poor man, with no more money OIL which
to operate. A daughter of the missing
man was the wife of DIR. Smith, prom
inent physician in Philadelphia, who
died in that city abo"+ week ago. The
friends of Mr.. Powers have made dill
gent search for him, and are confident
that he has carried out his plans and
ended his life

Mr.. SPRINGER WORSE
The Left Side Of His Face Is
Again Very Badly Swol-
len.
His Physicians Say There Is
No Cause For Immediate
Alarm.
Silver, Tariff and Reciprocity
to Come Up in Congress
This Week.
The Worlds Fair Appropria-
ton Bill Ready for Intro
duction Today.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The condi-
ton of Congressman Springer is worse
today. There is a recurrence of the
VTulent form of erysipelas which had
once almost disappeared. and tonight
the left side of his face is badly swollen
and the eye nearly closed. Periods
of delirium are also more frequent,
and there is today slight ten
dency to stupor-a new phase in his
condition, bat one which his physicians
declare not to be particularly alarming.
The attending physicians held con-
sultation late tonight, and at its con-
clusion DR.. John a. Vincent, of Spring
field, ILL.,, Mr.. Springer's family physi-
elan. made the following statement:
There is no occasion for Immediate
alarm. Mr.. Springer is worse today, but
that does not necessarily mean that
fatal result must enSue. This change
is nothing more than might be expected
in the run Of this disease. | fully apprecI-
ated what l said yesterday-that while
his condition was improved then he
was not out of danger Throughout the
day yesterday his symptoms were favor
able, but change for the worse took
during the night. While he slept con-
sideraby last night. yet it was broken,
restless sleep. There is today all in
creased development of erysipelas on
his face, attended by delirium and coma.
TIE aggrayatiOn Of the erysipeias,
while, of course, a matter of gravity, is
Rot necessarily alarming. 1t only shows
that there is not sufficient vitality to re-
SiSt the raVageS of the disease. ItshoWS
low vitality and a lack of physical
Vigor. The erysipelas began on
his left cheek and has extend
ed over and covers the entire
face except the forehead. The nose is
very much swolian, with development
of yesicles. Both eyes are involved
and nearly closed. The delirium, of
course, is induced by the disturbed con-
dition CT the nerve centerS. The coma,
or stupor, frequently makes It's appear
ance after he has been talking in
of the house or the tariff bill. After he
drops off into this state of coma or
stupor, however. it is quite easy to
arouse him again, when he will talk
quite ihtelligently perhaps for while.
But, after the conversation ceases,
he will lapse into that condi-
ton again. He is very sick
man; there is no doubt of that;
but it is not Immediately dangerous in
my opinion. Even should the disease
terminate fatally he would probably
pass into comatose state and remain
for hours in that condition. and possibly
day or two before death ensued. Drs.
Gusts and Verdi are still with me i'll
this case. DR.. GUSTS, in fact, having
charge of it, as he was the first physi
clan called. We have consultations
twice day, and are in perfect accord
as to the treatment that is being pur-
sued.'
AT l o'clock this morning the attend
ants at Mr.Springer's bedside said there
was no change in his condition, and that
he was resting quietly.

Lieut.. Hetherington was appointed to
Annapolis naval academy from Iowa in
1874 and was promoted to lieutenancy
in October, 1890. He lived at Whining
ton some time, land there met the woman
who is now his wife. Mrs. Hethering-
ton is one of four sisters, the other three
still residing in Wilmington.
WILMINGTON, Del, March 6.-The
wife of Lieut.. James Hetherlngton, of
the United States steamship Marion,
who killed Banker Robinson, in YOkO-
hama, is native of this city and the
oldest daughter of Emlen Hughes. a
leading citizen of Delaware's metropolis.
Her maiden name was Bessie Hughes.
She IS about twenty six years
old, while the lieutenant is past forty.
The couple were married here Dec. 10,
1889, the occurrence being the social
event of the season. They have one
child about eleven months old. Mrs.
Hetherington was the reigning belle at
the time of her marriage, and the scan-
dial that resulted in the South has cast a
glow over this community.

Col. j. B. Geggie, Duluth-The big
gest thing on earth. l expect to see in
short time fifty well developed mines
on the MeSabi. 1t is beyond all ques-
ton the biggest thing that has hap
pened to make Duluth one Of the great
est Mountaineering places of
America. Its influence will extend over
the state.
He Was Surprised.
G. II. Opel, Duluth was more
surprised by the appearance of the Gin
cinnatl than by that of any other mine.
They are all good, but speaking from
twenty-one years experience as prac-
teal miner. and after returning from Pit
No. of the Cincinnati, | am prepared
to say that l never saw better iron in
my life. l examined the pit carefully
and found the walls solid with Bessemer
ore. | picked up specimens from the
bottom, and know what l am talking
about.
I. D. Stryker, Duluth-This was my
first. | am a novice in iron, but l un-
derStand that every assay made has
shown over 81 per cent. This is marvel
GUS. 1t must be of great benefit to
Duluth, because the iron can be mined
and put on the cars at a lower rate than
from any other mine on earth.
w. II. Coleman, ST Paul-It is Won
derful thing. [ saw more iron today in
the rough than | ever hope to see again.
1t is going to help st. Paul and Mime
apolis as well as Duluth.
s. o. Brooks. st. Paul-There is no
possible uncertainty about it. The boom
in iron stock in Duluth has not COM
menced. All of those people on the
trip are more or less prominent. and
what they say to their friends will ex-
cite curiosity to see the Mesabi range.
Any one visiting the Cincinnati prop
erty gets the impression that 1t is one
vast body of iron ore. L have not a
dollar of money invested, but wish l
had.
From these interviews it will be seen
that the consensus of opinion is that the
story has not been half told; that it is
impossible to exaggerate the situation
in the least degree, and that investors
need only to buy stocks in good COM
panles and let the market do the rest.
Speaking of good companies reminds
me that another big strike was made on
the Charleston yesterday, the ore being
struck at another test pit eight feet
from the surface. The ore is of SPLEEN
did character and fully equal to any
thing vet shown.

the killing or a prominent citizen at
Yokohama by Lieut.. j. 81. sHethering-
ton, of the U. S. war ship Marion,

THE BIG THREE.
Tariff, Reciprocity and Silver
Coming Up This Week.

ANItns 4bCCiDIOClOJ anu O1bCE
Coming Up This Week.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Tarif, reci-
procity and silver are each and all
likely to be brought into discussion in
the senate during the coming week.
Mr.. Voorhees, has signitied an intention
of calling up Mr.. Hale's reciprocity res
Olution for the purpose of addressing
the senate upon it. Mr.. Aldrich is I'M
derStoOd to be ready to report the re-
suit of the Investigations that have been
conducted by the subcommittee of the
committee on finance into the workings
of the tariff, and Mr.. Dolph has given
notice of an intention tOSpeak upon Mr..
Stanford'S bill to provide sound cir
culating medium with special reference
TO its bearing upon the agricultural in
terests. The pure food bill is still the
continuing order after the morning
hour. The programme in the house for
next week will embrace the preliminary
debate upon the two vital economic
questions of the day-silver and tariff.
On Monday the resolution from the
committee on rules for a day to consider
the silver bill will be in order. 1t is
generally expected that the resolution
will be passed, as the silver men esti-
mate their maximum strength at $50
votes. Several Republicans are counted
with the anti-silver wing. 1t is
not expected that the whole
day will be occupied in the
discussion, and it is probable that some
general legislation will be accomplished.
Monday being suspension day, Tuesday
the opening skirmish on the tariff ques-
ton will occur. The discussion will not
be confined to the three bills reported
from the ways and means committee
(without binding twine and cotton ties,
but wide latitude viii! be given the
debate and members will be allowed to
discuss any phase of the tariff. 1t is
understood that the debate will be
opened by Mr.. McMillin loving to Mr..
Springer's illness). and that the time
will first be accorded to the members Of
the ways and means committee in the
order of their committee assignment.
While no one can state with certainty
the length of the discussion, it is gener-
ally believed that the entire week will
be consumed. Should this not occur,
the sundry civil or the army appropria-
ton bill will probably be considered.

ALGER Is OUT OF 1T.
The Michigander Will Not Antag-
oniZe Harrison.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The situa-
/ ton surrounding the Republican presi-
Dental nomination has beeen partially
cleared within the past week by the
definition of the status of one of
the gentlemen named in connection
with the nomination. Several confer
ences of friends of Gen. Alger have
been held to discuss the probabilities in
his favor, and it may be SAID that in
Difference to the views of his friends he
has decided to make no aggressive
canvass for support against Presi-
dent Harrison. Among those who
are said to have counseled this
course are the Michigan senators and j.
S. Clarkson, chairman of the national
Republican committee. They advise
hims'it is said. to be satisfied with the
support of his own state delegation,
which, it is assumed. will be given to
him without question. Then, if at Min
ineapolis it should develop that Presi-
dent Harrison cannot command the sup
port of majority of the delegates, Gen.
sAlger and his friends Will be in a posi-
ton to seek the votes of delegates with
out antagenIZing the administration.
This course, they argue, will result more
satisfactorily and substantially than
any other he could pu1sue.

A STRIKE MAY RESULT.
Trouble ON the Sioux City &
Northern.

Northern.
SIOUX CITY, To-. March Ga strike
of locomotive engineers on the Sioux
City & Northern road is threatened.
The arrival of Grand Chief Engi-
neer P. NJ. Arthur started an investi-
CATION, which reveals the fact he is
here at the urgent request of the engi-
neers employed on the road to discuss
the differences between the company
and the engineer. A number of the
men in the employ of the road have
been discharged lately and the men
have been unable to learn the
reasons for this action. Mr..
Arthur said tonight that from the
story of the men he was convinced that
they had been done an injustice, and
that unless the company gave better
reasons than it has thus far, or rein
stated the men. he intmated that there
might be strike. Although the North
ern is short road the probabilities are
that its feeders would all be involved,
owing to the fact the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers would refuse to
handle freight destined for the North
sarn
