THE STATE GRANGE.
The Twentieth Annual Session was Held
at Observation-Disclosures bill Praised.

The Twentieth Annual Session was Held
at NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. bill Praised.
The twentieth annual session of the
State Grange was held in Lansing and
was quite interesting. Worthy Master
Mars in his address spoke of the pend
ing senatorial contest. The gave the
present caucus system a severe drub-
bing, claiming that it was the means
of placing men without character or
ability in the senate, giving men of
great wealth and disreputable methods
clear road over poor, but honest, can
didates. The worthy master also paid
some attention TO matters now before
Congress. He said he was satisfied
that markets are seriously affected by
the great boards of trade and their
mode of buying and selling, and hoped
that the anti-option and pure food
bills will pass. No plan has been sug-
gested that, in his opinion, is a better
solution of the great question of finance
than the one now in vogue. He eX-
pressed the belief that the increase Of
money should keep pace with the in
crease of population. The land loan
and sub-treasury schemes were said to
have been relegated to the rear as one
of the lost problems of the age. The
scheme urged upon Congress having
for its object the irrigation of the arid
lands of the west was soundly con-
demned as one which, if adopted, will
call for the expenditure of untold mil
lions. The opinion was expressed that
we now have all the land needed, in
view of the lively competition and
small profits which exist. A good word
was spoken for the free rural mail de
livery project and for the State Agri-
cultural College, which, he said, should
have ample means TO enlarge its useful
ness and admit girls on an equal foot
ing with boys. The oranges finances
are in good condition and the order is
growing slowly but steadily.

PORK PACKERS PRIDE.
Armour, the Chicago Millionaire, Gives
G1,5O0,OO0 FOR an Institute in Ills City.

Armour. the Chicago Millionaire, Gives
sI,5O0,O0O for AN Institute In Ills City.
Philip ID. Armour, the millionaire
packer, gives over 81, 500, 900 TO the city
of Chicago as a Christmas present.
Absolutely unknown TO the public
work has been going on for year past
toward the erection of magnificent
five-story building on Armour avenue
and it is now all but ready for occu-
pancy. This building will be known
as the Armour institute and will be to
Chicago all that the Drexel institute is
to Philadelphia and the Pratt institute
TO Brooklyn. This building is but a
small part of the gift. In addition to
it and for its support Mr. Armour gives
81, 100000. All that money and brains
and labor can do win be done towards
making it the greatest institute for
manual training, science and art in
this country.
1t is expected that the school will
open on September / next. During
the next few months the most COM
plete apparatus obtainable for every
branch and library bearing upon
every line of study viii be secured. In
addition TO the building and elaborate
apparatus for teaching electricity,
physics and chemistry, "a fine library
and perfect gymnasium, Mr.. Armour
puts behind the institute and the
Armour mission his gift of Sl,40O, 900,
thus giving the former an annual in
come of $50, 600 and the latter SIS, 900.
The faculty of the institute will be of
the highest standing, and it is Mr..
Armour's desire that the students may
leave prepared for the higher
universities, or for any field of
mechanical or scientific labor. Every
possible convenience for scientific re-
search and experiments will be PIC
vided.

FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
ONE OF THE MURDERERS OF
MOLITOR FOUND GUILTY.
A BIG Scandal at the Kalamazoo Insane
Asylum.-Richardson Elected Con-
gresham I'm the Fifth.

The first of the Molitor MURDER con-
spiracy trials at Alpena has ended and
the prisoner is charged with murder in
the first degree. The jury was out all
night before a verdict could be reached.
The prisoner-August Grossman-be-
came CHASTITY pale as the jury was
polled and great beads of perspiration
stood out on his face'as the words were
spoken which consigned him to life inn
prisonmeft. His wife broke down and
wept piteously. The prisoner was re-
manded for sentence.
There are also three other defendants
in the case and they will be tried in the
February term, each separately. Repke
and Reiger, who are also under indict-
ment but who have made confessions,
will probably plead guilty and throw
themselves on the mercy of the court.
Is is understood that proceedings will
be commenced against Mende, Sorgen-
frie, Weisengart and Bruder, the re-
naming four of the twelve who were
are alleged to have been in the con-
spiracy, Barabas and Tuelgetsld being
dead. Proceeding may also be begun
against Andrew L. Banks. The case
of Grossman will probably be appealed
to the supreme court, but a new trial is
not expected.
The story of the conspiracy is as fol-
lows: Albert Molitor and Ed Sullivan,
his clerk, were shot one night in Au-
gust, 1876, while at work in the former
Office in Rogers City, Presque Isle
county. Five shots were fired, the as
sassins taking aim through an open
window. Molitor and Sullivan died n
few hours later in great agony.
Justice wasn't much of an institution
in Pressure Isle county in those days and
little effort was made to run down the
murderers. Molitor was man of
large wealth, but he was also the most
unpopular man in northern Michigan.
He was something of despot in Rogers
City. Presently the tragedy was for
gotten. In August, 1891, however, one
Repke made confession declaring
that he was one of a dozen implicated
in the conspiracy. Twelve arrest were
made, and Reiger, one of the prisoners,
confessed completely in the murders.
Only five were held, however, and Au-
gust Grossman is the first tried. The
cases were transferred to Alpena county
last August, it being impossible TO Sc
cure disinterested veniremen in Pressure
Isle county.

According to story circulated in
New FORK City jay Gould not long be-
fore his death wrote letter in which
he is said to have suggested $1,000, 600
as probably the proper amount that
would be needed to endow a prepare
tory institution, such as he had in
mind, with the object in view of fitting
young men for college. 1t was said
that while the plan is not mentio ned
in the will and no provision is made
for its carrying out, the matter was
left with George Gould and that his
fathers wishes, whatever they were
will be carried out.
EX-Gov. st. John, of Kansas, writes:
''While much is being published against
jay Gould, in 1850, when settlers in
western Kansas were penniless and
threatened with starvation, wrote TO
this much-abused man about it. He
promptly sent me $1,000"

AN ASYLUM SCANDAL.
brutal Treatment of Patients by the At
PENDANTS at Kalamazoo.

Brutal Treatment of Patients by the At
tendants at Kalamazoo.
The Michigan asylum for the insane
at Kalamazoo is shaken up by sensa-
ton that savors strongly of murder.
1t has led to the bouncing of one at
tendant and more discharges may fol-
low. A short time ago VIM. Konegan,
who had been brought from Jackson
three days before, was found dead in
bed with blood oozing from his nose
and ears, and bearing evidence of hav-
ing been roughly handled. 1t was
thought at the time that he had been
sandbagged and robbed in Jackson be-
fore coming here, and a physician testi-
fed that the clot of blood formed on
his brain was the result of a blow
gived not more than 10 days previous.
At Jackson, however, the authorities
maintained that Kouegan must have
received his injuries after reaching
Kalamazoo.
Now startling disclosure appears.
While under the influence of liquor in
a saloon Daniel hewitt, an attendant,
told a friend that Konegan had at
tackled him the day before he was
found dead, and that he, hewitt, had
thrown him down and kicked him un-
til he begged for mercy. The story
was investigated at the asylum. hewitt
now denies that he kicked Konegan,
but says he kicked patient named
Thayer, who had a couple of ribs
broken. The four attendants in that
ward refuse to talk, and unless they
come TO time the whole lot will have
to go. hewitt has been discharged and
was later put under the surveillance OF
an officer, awaiting further develop
ments. He may be arrested at any
time.
