The Deacon Trial.

PARIS, Oct. 13.-[Special. This
is the day set for the trial of the case
of Edward Parker Deacon against
his wife Mrs. Deacon. 1t is the be-
ginning of the end of the case which
has attracted international interest,
as both Mr.. and Mrs. Deacon are
members of the best families of the
United States. The charge against
Mrs. Deacon Is that of adultery, and
the correspondent in the case is Mt.
Abeille, the man killed by Mr.. Dea-
con. For this crime the latter has
just ended almost years inprison-
ment. If the charge of adultery is
proven the penalty to be paid by
Mrs. Deacon will be imprisonment
for period of between two months
and three years. If eXternating
circumstances be shown fine may
be substituted for imprisonment.
Mr.. Deacon is confident, however,
that the charge will be proven true
in its full significance, as he has new
and abundant evidence against
his wife. Should Mrs. Deacon be
condemned to imprisonment Mr..
Deacon may exercise his legal right
under the French law and suspend
the execution of the penalty. The
case will be tried before judges. No
jury will be called. Mrs. Deacon is
expected to be present during the
trial. If she is absent, however, the
court will have no power to hear
her defence. Owing to'the practice
of the French courts as re-education
of the children, MIR. Deacon will not
sue In France for divorce. What
proceedings he may take upon his
return to the United States has not
been positively determined, or, If
determined, has not been made
known.
His intention now, however, Is
that should the decision of the
Grasse court establish beyond legal
question the adultery of his wife
with Nj. Abeille, he will obtain
divorce and right to care for his
children from the American courts.
This he expects he will be able to do
without opposition. Although she
obtained the care of the children
during Mr.. Deacon's term of impris-
onment, he has through an order of
the Paris tribunal obtained control
Of two of the children. The baby
which Mr.. Deacon claims is the
child of Nj. Abeille, he has not asked
for. All the efforts of Mrs. Deacon
to see her husband have thus far
proven fruitless.

A Young Lady Mortally wounded

PORTLAND, Oct. 13.--Miss Brudel
Morden, Is years old, was last night
shot and mortally wounded by Bur-
doth Wolf at her fathers residence
at Mount Tabor villa. Circumstances
indicate that the act was premedi.
tated aud was the result of jealously
on the part of Wolf. He had been
keeping company with Miss Nor
den, but of late she had apparently
grown tired of his attentions. Last
night Wolf met Miss Morden and
her sister in the road and asked Bru.
del TO take walk with him. She
refused, and started toward her
home. Wolf seized her by the arm
and drawing a revolver, shot her In
the breast. The girl fell to the
ground, and Wolf ran to the woods
Examination showed that the bul.
let penetrated the girls lung, and
that 1t would undoubtedly prove
fatal. Wolf is 21 years old, and re-
Gently has acted very strangely.
Great excitement prevailed over the
tragedy, and threats Of lynching are
made.

THE BEACON TRIAL.
Two Dray Stables Burned--
Loss, $50, 900.


CoFFEyvILLE, Kas., Oct. 49,
The east-bound Missouri Pacific
train was held up by two robbers at
Caney station last night. The rob-
bers boarded the engine, and COM
PEELED the engineer to pull out two
miles, they then uncoupled the ex-
press car from the rest of the train,
and pulled half mile further. The
express messenger, Maxwell, had
blown out the lights, aud barred the
door, refusing to open it. The rob-
bers fired through the door wound
ing him In the arm. He then sur
rendered and opened the door. The
robbers covered him with revolyers,
aud compelled him to give up the
express packages. All the express
money was transferred at Con way
springs, so it is not thought the
highwaymen got much. The iden-
tity of the robbers is unknown, but
believed to be the same men who
last week held up a station agent at
5edankan.
WINFIELD, Kansas, Oct. 13.--Cer-
tain the Missouri Pacific robbers
secured several thousand dollars, as
the train connects with St. Louis,

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Oct. .13. The
Locomotive firemen of the Southern
Pacific company have decided to
appeal from the decision of Generel
Superintendent Fillmore refusing to
grant an advance in wages over the
whole Pacific system, to General
Manager Towne. At the present

sum equal to SO per cent. of the
wages earned by engineers for the

to 80 per cent. which has been all
allowed on the Union Pacific and

A Murderer Discovered.

GLASGOW, Oct. 13.-The police
have discovered that the woman
whose mutilated remains were
found in West Lodge Monday night
was of low character. A sailor, John
McNeilly, says he was in company
with man named McEwen Mon
day night. They met the woman,
who went with McEwen to West
Lodge and spent the night with
him. McNeilly says he left the
place early next morning to look for
work, and that he knows no more
about the matter. McEwen was
captured yesterday in peculiar
manner. Game-keepers on the es-
tate of Sir John Maxwell saw a
man trespassing on the fields. He
refused to give any information rs
to his intentions, and when the
game-keepers attempted to capture
him, he drew small knife from his
pocket and commenced to hack at
his throat. They at length over
powered him and conveyed him to
the nearest police station, whence
he was taken to the infirmary, 1t
is thought hardly probable that he
will live. The woman who was
murdered is identified as Elizabeth
O'Connor, n woman of the town.
Workmen searching for the missing
portions of her body, found them
buried in the garden. From their
appearance they had evidently been
hacked aud torn out of the victims
body with saw.

IT TOOK NERVE.
Chilli IndictS and COnyictS an
American of Murder
Without Either His Presence or
Notifying Him.

When Asked to Explain Minister Montt
Simply Said 1t was the Law of His
Country Chilli Undoubtedly Doesn't
Favor Arbitration-The Stand of the
Administration Unchanged.
New YORK, Jan. 12.-The Press pub
fishes the following Washington special
dated Sunday night:
1t is learned tonight that Senior Montt,
Chilian minister to Washington, has
within few hours held an interview
with a representative official Of the
United States state department.
The United States officer asked Senior
Mont: "Is it true that your govern
ment is preparing TO make a proposition
to submit the differences between the
United States and Chill to arbihation"
Senor Montt replied: IF you mean
that | have received word officially or
from any one in authority to that effect
| answer No
"Have you been apprised that your
government is taking steps tn meet the
demands of the United Statas?"
Senor Montt made identically the
GfVLilC dpl'IJ w ltAlS ttACpLlOll tVo liz CAAS
already quoted.
We Don't Understand.
When asked how the Chilan govern
ment came to indict and convict an
American sailor Davidson of murder
without his presence and without notlii-
cation, Senor Montt simply said tnat
such was the law of his country. A
shrug was the only answer he delgncd
to the inquiry as to what means would
be employed to place Davidson in Gus
tody.
The Administration as Firm rs Ever.
These categorical questions and shift
ing replies were in possession Of Presi-
dent Harrison half an hour after their
exchange. They indicate that the pol
icy of the administration is as firm as
ever, and that Chilli will be cabIed TO
meet every demand that the United
States has made. Senior lLontt realizes
this, and it is said that he has sent his
cousin, the president Of Chill, a long
cipher dispatch tonight, urging some
fulillment Of the vague promises he has
been led to make.
