A wanton MURDER Near Astor,a.

ASTORIA, Or, July 27-Mrs Caroline
Hansen was murdered in patch of rasp-
berry bushes near her home Wednesday
evening. She was found face down, her
skull crushed in, and the head resting in
a pool of blood, which was still warm.
she was quiet, good old woman, against
whom no mortal could be expected to
hold either enmity or jealousy; and
neither lust nor gain could have inc,ted
her slayer to the dreadful deed. The
scene of the murder was the family resi-
dence on Bear creek, 10 miles FROM this
city. There were no tramps or desper-
ate characters about, aud the evidence at
the coroner's inquest is conclusive that
her killing simply amounted to wanton
murder.

Violent Storm In Rome, N. Y, the Roofs Be.

ROME, n. Y, Aug. 27.-Shortly after 8
O'Clock. this afternoon. this city was vis-
tied by violent electric storm. Two
black clouds. hanging low and moving
swiftly east and west. met here. Rain fell
In torrents. accompanied by hailstones Of
enormous size. The most of them are
tomato-shaped, and many of the larger ones
weighed q quarter Of q pound each. In
striking the tagging they popped like pis-
tolls, and sparks almost few from the rock.
Every unprotected skylight in the
city was broken. Stores were flooded
and goods damaged. Plate glass half an
lnch thick was shattered. Tin roofs were
punctured like 50 much paper. All the
greenhouses the city were fairly
crushed, and the plants and flowers were
pounded into the ground. Fruit trees were
stripped. A farm house in the outskirts of
the city was struck by lightning and
burned. A canal driver in the employ of
James Naliey, of Oswego, was struck on
his head with hall5tOne which cut
through the woolen hat which he wore and
sunk into his head The roof of che
new Kingsley memorial chapel, erected ut
q great cost. was bored full of holes. Sew
eral costly cathedral glass windows in ST.
Mary's Church were destroyed. The hail
storm lasted about ten minutes. Two milcs
south OF here no rain or hail fell. lt IS not
thought that the great op.growing region
was visited. To the north aud west the
storm had q wider range, anc great deal
OF damage was done.

JOSIAH QUINCY RESIGNS.
Assistant Secretary of State Finds an Excuse
for Leaving the Department.

BOSTON, Aug. 2Z.-JosIah Quincy mailed
letter to President Cleveland Friday
night in whichhe rendered his resignation
of the Office of Assistant Secretary of State.
Mr.. Quincy arrived in Boston Friday night
but only began to talk with leaders of the
Democratic party yesterday morning. He
had previously stated in unmistskable
terms thatin the coming campaign he must
be counted out" meaning that he would
have nothing at all to do with it. But. Mr.
Quincy changed his mind. II was
represented to him that he was
the man aud the only man to lead
the Democrats in the next cam paign. Mr..
Quincy's letter 70 the President sets forth,
IN the first place, the exigencies of the Bay
State campaign. MIR. Quincy then declares
that his own 10y atty. his sense of what is
right. his natural pugnacity. and his belief
that the best interests of the Democratic
party IN Massachusetts, will be served by
his taking the ohairmanship of its State
committee leads him to this decision. Aud
80 he writes, II resign my place as Assist
ant Secretary OF State"
Mt. Quincy said yesterday. before leaving
for Chicago, that in taking this action be
very muoh regretted that he would be
obliged to give up the companionshIp OK his
pleasant associates in the State Depart.
ment and else h ere in Washin gton but be
believed that his duty n good Democrat
required him to do what his party asked Of
him.

WASHINGToN, Aug. 27.-It now seems Ger.
tain that the House will pass the bill I'm.
oonditionaily repeating the ver-purchas-
ing law before it adjourns tomorrow, and
that the Senate would pass like measure
If direct vote could be secured on it.
There is not q free-siiverite in Washington
to-rlght but who acknowledges defeat if
the friends of unconditional repeal in the
now four or five Senators who have been
classed ell along as free-coinsge advocates
who say they will support unconditional
repeal if all other propositions be voted
down; that rather than vote against it
when it stands alone they will vote for 1t.
These give unconditional repeal q N sjorlty.
Senators Teller. Stewart, Vest, Cockrell,
Butler. Morgan and other free-coinage men
acknowledge that their only hope now lies
In the rules which make it possible for
them to defeat vote. They
mean to talk the bill tO death to
wear out the repealists, as they did the
election bill two years ago. A change of
the rules so rs TO bring the silver bill to O
vote seems ImpOssi BILE. as there is pro-
cess of ending q debate on q rule which
would secure closure. even on a single
measure. The chances are about even that
q direct vote cannot be secured on uncon-
ditional repesl in the Senate. and two to
one that a compromise will ne effected
whereby another silver law will take the
place OF the present one.

tracked for abont four years. Some days
