Made Trouble for Themselves.

80 many shad fshermen's nets have
dotted the Delaware with their cork
lines recently, says the Philadelphia
Record, that numerous conjectures have
been expressed by persons in rowboats
and passengers on steamers as TO how
the fishermen manage TO avoid the loss
Of their nets on the propellers or side
wheels Of the big boats. The truth Of
the matter is that pilots, especially
those on small craft, such as tugs, are
as anxious to steer clear Of the nets as
the shad fishers are to have them do so.
Not many days ago a gillnet on
the upper Delaware was In peril OF de.
struction by an approaching tug
with barges in tow. The owners Of the
net signaled in vain; the green pilot was
unwilling to alter his course. These
fishers soon had the satisfaction Of see.

MISSED THEIR CHANCE.
Remorse of the Sorehead Republicans
Over Their Shortsightedness.

Remorse of the Sorehead Repubicans
Over Their Shortsightedness.
A good part of the soreness OF the re-
publicans over the present politico'
financial situation is no doubt due TO
the remorseful consciousness that they
threw away in 1890 great oppor'
tunity for leadership and party success.
When Speaker Reed was moving
heaven and earth to hang up the free
coinage bill in committee, and keep II
at all hazards from going to presl-
Dental veto, he was really booming his
party to defeat. 1t is easy enough to
see now that if he and the party lead
ers had boldly thrown down the gaunt.
let to the free-silver men, had hailed
the chance of strong veto and de-
fiant campaign on the issue of honest
money, they would have driven the
baltinp democrats into alliance with the
silyerities and into inevitable defeat.
The republican party seemed almost
predestined for such work as that;
and if the old clear moral sense mad
not gone out of it, it is inconceivable
that it would not have seized the OPP
portunity of doing it. But the long
wears of jobbing and bargaining over
: the tariff and of seeking power through
: shrewd intrigue had done their fatal
work and so, instead of a bold and reso-
S lutte attitude in which would have been
g safety and triumph, the best wisdom OF
i. the party could agree upon nothing
;; better than that miserable dangling be
S tween the devil and the deep sea known
n as the Sherman lawn. Y. Post.

NEWLY CASE ENDED.
The Government Wins In the Celebrated
| Pension Case.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 23.-As a re-
suit of the verdict in the celebrated
Newly pension fraud case, United
States District Attorney Shut and
Special Examiner Mcbride narrowly
escaped being assaulted by a mob of
the defendants sympathizers After
being ont nineteen minutes the jrxy
returned verdict as charged, and the
bitter feeling which had been bred by
the reci limitations during the trial
was given full play. AS soon as the
verdict was announced in court room,
loud murmurs were heard from the
seats occupied by Bentons par tisans.
| A short time afterwards as the peo-
Pile were walking out of the room
threats were made against Shut and
Mcbride Before the mob could do
any harm, however, the prosecutors
reached safe quarters.
This ends for the time being one OF
the most noted pension fraud cases
ever tried in the west. Two years ago
the prisoner, who was confined in an
aims house in White county, this state,
announced that he was William Newby,
who had since the battle of Shiloh beer
mourned as dead and for whose demise
wife had been drawing pension

clared to be by saturday verdict, wen
to the Newly home and was recognized
by several persons, including Mrs. New

Some time later Benton applied for
pension under the name of Newly AM
an investigation was Immediately Sc
on foot which aroused grave doubt
that the man was not Newby. Bento
, was indicted on three charges, that c
making false affidavit to a pensio
claim and perjury. The trial has bee

adduced showing that Benton wa

THE THIRD IN TEN DAYS.

Caused by Wounded "HOnOr.'
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July "a Another
murder, the third within the past ten
days. was committed in Kansas City,
Kan, Yesterday morning, when Charles
Bunk shot and almost instantly killed
William Blackford at the formers
home on Troop avenue. The tirst OF
this trio of capital crimes was the kill
ing of Dick Moore by William Mullens
over a game of craps in Lawrence s
ioint on Third street, the second was
the murderof Lawyer b. +. Johnston by
Banker A. w. Little in front OF Con
ley's drug store on Minnesota avenue
over business transaction In yester
dav's murder the man was killed with
ont warning by shot from behind
and it was the most cowardly OF then
ALL. AS well as one deliberately premed
itated. The killing was the result o
Blacsford having paid too much atten
ton to Blunk's wife.
Rlunk owns a "joint' on Mort
Third street, near the Northwestern
railroad crossing, and Blackford ha
been employed by him as bartende
since January until last Tuesday, whe
Bunk objected to Blackford givin
awav so many drinks, and the latte
quit work.
1t seems that Bunk took girl to
dance and Blackford, hearing OF
took Mrs. Bunk out. This fired M
Bunk up to the point of madness an
his "honor" could not be satisfied uni
he had killed Blackford.
