KILLED A WHOLE FAMILY.
Five Persons Victims of Clinton Jordan's
Fury--A Bloody Indiana Tragedy.


SEYMOUR, IND, Nov. 26-As the re-
suit of terrible tragedy, growing out
of family feud, five people arc dead
tonight in their country home, seven
miles east of this city.
Four years ago Clinton Jordan, then
81 years old, married daughter of
Joshua Foster, with whom he has never
lived happily. Last week they sepa-
rated and she returned to the home of
her father.
Late last night Jordan met his father
in-law and accompanied him home, con.
trary to the wishes of the latter, who
feared trouble. Jordan promised to be-
have, but soon after his arrival at
Fosters home he began to quarrel.
Foster then ordered him out of the
house, when Jordan fired at the old
man, but missed him, the ball striking
Miss Cora Foster, aged II, in the head,
killing her instantly
The second shot hit Foster in the head
and he fell, but soon rose and ran a
quarter of mile to the home of his
son-in-law, William Powell, where he
fell and fingered until late this after
noon. when he died.
Jordan then turned his revolver
towards Mrs. Foster, his mother. r.in-law,
shooting her in the neck, the ball rang
ing downward and causing a wound
from which she died tonight.
Jordan's wife attempted TO defend her
mother and he stabbed her repeatedly
in the breast, hands and face, and ended
by shooting her through the head.
Jordan then coolly opened his vest
and placed the revolver against his
breast, sending a ball directly through
his heart. He dropped dead instantly,
falling across the dead body of his wife.
The pistol was placed so close to the
breast of Jordan that his clothing caught
fire and was burned off him, the skin
dropping from his body when lifted.
The revolver was new one and had
evidently been bought with the inten-
ton of killing his victims. The knife
with which the murders wife was SO
cruelty gashed was new and had been
freshly sharpened.
Mr.. Foster, the aged victim, was 60
years Old and his wife was so. Mrs.
Jordan was 1S years old, Foster had an
unsavory reputation, and when drunk,
which was often, he was ugly and
quarrelsome.
ALI the other victims were peaceable
and orderly citizens. Jordan was illit.
crate and very stupid, but he had always
been considered harmless. His parents
are respectable people.

THANksGIYING TURKEP.

The Prevailing Prices for Holiday Poultry
and Provisions Cheaper Than Hereto
fore.
A canvass of the large poultry dealers
and commission men in the Whining
ton markets reveals the fact that the
dulness in trade has had tendency to
depreciate the poultry market and the
Thanksgiving turkey will be cheaper
than formerly. There are numbers of
fine birds in the markets and the prices
are reasonable. T. N. Stayton quotes
the wholesale price of turkeys at from
10 to IL cents per pound. The retail
price ranges from IA to lS cents. Ducks
are worth wholesale, from rs cents to 81
a pair. Chickens can be purchased for
$1.25 per pair. The vegetable and fruit
market is unchanged.
White potatoes, 10 to Is cents half
peck; sweet potatoes, 12 to IS cents a
half peck; grapes, % cents basket;
onions, 10 cents a quarter peck; Gran.
berries, s to 12 cents per quart; oranges,
10 to 35 cents per dozen; bananas, 12,
Is and 20 cents per dozen; grated cocoa
nut, 10 cents per pound; mincemeat,
two pounds for 25 cents; turnips, 10
cents half peck; beets, 3 cents bunch;
celery, 5 to 90 cents u bunch; cabbage,
to cents head; radishes, cents per
bunch; butter, 25 to 35 cents a pound;
eggs, 28 and 80 cents per dozen.

Another Serious Assault That Promises to
Result in Murder--The Victim in IA Hos
pital and .he Assailant Locked Up at
the Police Station.
Samuel Guarley and Walter Carthorn,
the latter colored, were drinking in su-
loon near the Hartmann & Fehrenbach
Brewing Con- panys brewery, about 73O
o'clock, Friday evening, when a quarrel
arose. Guarley asked the negro to treat,
so the latter says but the request was re-
fused
Carthorn then walked out of the saloon
and Guarley followed. They had some
more words and the negro says GuaIley
threw q brick at him, striking him on top
of the head and knocking him down. He
was picked up and taken to the office of
Dr. John Palmer, Jr, where his injuries
were dressed.
DR.. Palmer stated on Saturday that
Carthorn had sustained compound frac-
ture of the skull, and that the tissue of the
brain had been ruptured. There was
wound ON the left side of the head as large
as half dollar, and some of the particles
OF the skull were loose and resting upon
the brain. DR.. Palmer stated that he or
dcred the mans removal to the Delaware
Hospital and that he is in a critical
condition and may not recover.
Guarley is locked up at the police sta
ton and is held without bail. Chief
Dolan refused access to him on Saturday,
and his version of the tragedy could not
be learned.

The annual report of Postmaster
General Bissell shows that the deficiency
for the year ended June 3Oth, 1898, was
$5,l71, III, instead of, 81 ,552 ,423, as esti-
mated by Mr.. Wanamaker, and that,
instead of surplus Of. $S72, ,245 for the
