A LOVERS sTRATAGEM.
Prevented His Rivals Receiving
an Acceptance of His Proposal.

an acceptance OF his proposal.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 49,
The government authorities are in
vestigating a peculiar case of destroy
ing lett rs, and, though they with
hold the names of the parties for the
present, they promise sensational
developments in a few days. A.
South Side young lady had two
suitors, and one demanded that she
decide between him and his rival
and mail an answer Friday, saying
he would leave for California Salur-
day unless she answered favorably.
BY some means his rival learned OF
this demand, and that the lady
would answer favorably. He kept
close watch upon the mail box,
which was very near her residence,
and Friday saw her place her ans
wer in the box. He then saturated
some paper with coal oil and stuffed
it in the box, after whicn he drop
ped in lighted match. When the
carrier opened the box he found it
full of charred letters. Next day
the lover who had been accepted,
but failed to receive the hoped-for
letter, left for California. An inves-
tigation led to the foregoing devel-
opments, and the, authorities will
make an arrest in the case in a few
days.

THE CHINESE BILL.
What DOlph and FELTON, Pre-
pose TO DO.
CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Senate Amendments to Geary's
House Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Senator
FELTON, thinks it probable that Dolph
will call up his Chinese bill In the
senate Immediately, 50 he has been
at work preparing certain amend
ments that he intends to offer. He
will move to strike out all after the
enacting clause of Dolph's bill aud
iusert, in lieu thereof, Geary's
measure with the following changes:
He will move to strike out that
part of section s of Geary's bill pro-
viding that the secretary of the
treasury may make such rules and
regulations as will allow Chinese,
other than laborers and artisans, to
temporarily visit the United States;
all of section 10 of Geary's bill after
lue II is stricken out. This last
provision requires Chinese now
within the United States TO pay So
for a certific4te of residence, to be
issued by the commissioner of 10
.ernal revenue or his deputy. A
certificate of residence should be
required, Senator FELTON, thinks. but
it would be unjust to impose tax
upon the Chinese for this purpose,
while our own people are not re
quired to pay fee for such registra
tion, as the expense is borne by the
state government. AS there are
certain senators who would surely
have taken exception to this pro-
vision, FELTON, believes it will b.
good policy to make such change in
it. Felton's amendment will pro.
pose that money be appropriated by
congress to pay for this Chinese
registration. He estimates that
there are 100000 Chinese within oul
borders, and that the fee for each
certificate should be about so cents
which would require an appropria.
ion therefor of about 100000. 1t is
not believed that the senators will
antagonize Geary's bill as amended
by FELTON, solely on account of its
carrying small appropriation like
this.

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
The Awful Crime of a Couple OF
Lovers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 49,
There is young couple in Haugh-
vile living under the name of Albert
Cox and wife. The woman's given
name is Hattie, While laboring
under intense religious excitement
last week, she confessed that she
and her husband were guilty of a
deliberately-plotted murder. Two
years ago they were lovers in Gin
cinnati. The girl, who is not past
20 years old, and is pretty, had
another suitor, man of middle age,
a widower, and well-to-do. Her
parents were partial to him. A
mortgage lay upon their property.
The rich suitor promised that it
should be lifted if the daughter
would bestow her haud upon him.
The younger suitor was driven from
the house, and the young woman
forbidden to receive his company.
The lovers grew desperate, and re-
solved to run away. But they
would need money. The young
lover devised an awful scheme to
obtain a supply of money. 1t
occurred to him that the rich suitOr
should himself pay the forfeit of
money and life. 1t wac agreed that
the girl should seem to accept the
elder suitor in consideration of $1,000
and should make an agreement
with him to meet him on Ludlow
street bridge. The money was to be
paid to her. The victim kept the
appointment, and as he approached
the girl coughed. 1t was pre-.
arranged signal for the conspiracy
to reach climax. Cox rushed from
shadowy nook and struck the vic
tim cruel blow with coupling
pin on the head. He was a brake
man and the heavy bar was handled
with fearful effect. There was no
scream and the fall OF the body
made no sound. Both took the body
and whirled it into the river below.
The guilty couple did not stop to
watch the plunge of the body; they
hurried back to the city. Nobody
saw them on the bridge, and their
secret seemed safe. Cox and the
girl soon came to this city. Cox OBJ
tanned employment on the Peoria
division of the Big -Four. Mrs. Cox
became regular attendant at the
revival meetings. She went to the
alter, but could find no peace. Last
Thursday night Mrs. Cox tainted at
the altar, and when she recovered
she confessed the story as here told
TO Mrs, Ella Persal. Others were
brought In, and the confession re-
peated. Since that time detectives
have been at work on the case.

BATTLE WITH LUNATIos.
Exciting Scene in the New York
Insane Asylum.

AUBURN, N. ", April 19.-Ward
6, in the state asylum for insane
criminals in this city, has been the
scene Of many desperate revolts
among inmates in days gone by.
but the most exciting in long mum
ber Of years occurred Sunday, whel'
a quartet Of reckless New Yorl
crooks attempted TO overpower the
attendants and escape. There were
fifty patients in the ward at th'
time of the uprising, which occurred
when only four attendants wer,
present. One of the convicts, Ed
ward Meredith, approached Daniel
j. Lucie, the head attendant, and,
feigniDg headache, asked for some
bay mlm. LUCE went to his medi-
cine Chest in another room, followed
by the scheming william, who knew
also that there were several razors
in the chest. AS he was STOPPING
down to unlock the chest the at
teDdant was struck on the back OF
the head and fell forward to the
floor. At the moment the blow was
struck three OF Meredith's compan-
iois, who were in the secret, rushed
iutO The room, and together they
pillaged the chest of it's razors. An
alarm had been sounded, and in q
few minutes thirty keepers aud at
tendants had assembled. When
they saw that their efforts at escape
had proved futile two Of the prison
ers threw away their razors anC
capitulated, but the others, will
demonlacal rsvings, refused to SUI
render. DR.. Courtney grasped {
heavy oak chair and threatened L
crush the rebels If they not lay
down their arms. Slowly the mer
retEeated until they arrived at al
open door, through which they
jumped, in hopes of escaping by thil
means. No sooner had the mer
entered the room than DR.. Courtney
turned the key, and they were pris
oners. Then parley took place
again about surrender, but the con
victs persisted in refusing. A gar
den hose was obtained, and opening
the door carefully, a stream was
played on the imprisoned men.
Still they refused, when 1t was de-
cided to use the large hose attached
to one Of the fireplugs in the build
ing and drown the men into sub
mission; therefore this was done.
DIR. Allison, medical superintendent,
expostulated for some time with the
men, until they agreed to give up.
They were placed in close contine-
ment. Lucie was the only one hurt
in the aftray, and he will probably
recover.

LONDON, April 19.-In reporting
to the board of trade on recent
fatal accident to the guard on a
train of the Midland railroad, Major
Marinden condemns without meas
ure the habitual overworking OF
employees on English railways. The
dead guard, he says, worAed for
consecutive periods of twenty, seven
teen, twenty-three and twenty-five
hours. Orher employees suffered
similarly, mostly owing to the fact
that goods trains seldom run on
time. The driver on the same train
with the dead guard had been forty
seven consecutive hours and forty
minutes at work at one time, and
forty-eight consecutive hours two
days later. Only five hours were
allowed in periods of twenty-five
and eighteen hours Of work. After
the week in which he remained on
the long periods mentioned the
same engine driver worked two
periods of sixty-one and seventy
consecutive hours. Major Marin
den says that the railways must be
compelled to largely increase their
forces in case the safety of train
men, as well as of passengers, is to
be assured,
