MURDERED THEIR FATHER.
A Whole Family Convicted of Participat-
ing in the Crime.

WAYNEsBURG, Penn, April 1.-THE
Morgan murder cases were called in
court yesterday, and were disposed of in
less than two hours. Thomas Morgan,
who shot his father several months ago,
was tried first, the jury bringing in a
second degree verdict. The three sis
ters, Jennie, Rebecca and Callie, were
tried together. The verdict was volun-
tary manslaughter for the first named,
and second degree for the other two.
Sentence was not passed. The father,
John Morgan, was wealthy widower,
55 wears Of age. The report that Nor
gan contemplated marrying again
aroused the anger of his chill
dren. who warned him if he
married his life would pay the forfeit.
Morgan paid no attention to this threat,
and at the appointed time married the
woman of his choice. AS soon as he re-
tnrned to his home where his children
lived. Thomas, at his sisters command,
fred at his father. The ball missed the
father and wounded one of the girls.
Thomas pursued the old gentleman
nearly half mile to an abandoned
building, where he murdered him in a
most brutal manner. The son and
two of the daughters have been jailed
since the crime was perpetrated. The
girl who was wounded had sufficiently
recovered to be present in court. =

FIGHTING ON THE DOCKS.
Strikers and the Non-Union Laborers in
Pitched Battle.

Strikers and the Non-Union Laborers in
Pitched Battle.
LONDON, April IA strike that threat
ems serious consequences has been started
at Hull. For some time past, shipping
companies have been supplying non
union laborers to work in loading and
discharging vessels. This caused great
discomfort among the members of the
Dock Laborers' Union and few days
ago the unionists went on a strike.
Quite large number of non-union men
went to Hull to take the places of the
strikers. Today, strikers by threats and
other means of intimidation succeeded
in completely blocking work on every
vessel in port with the exception of the
steamer Montebello on which lalge
number of non-unionists are employed
Several thousand hooting strikers and
their sympathizers proceeded to the
dock at which the Montebello was lying
and made determined attack upon the
Objectionable laborers. The non
unionists were finally compelled to
cease work. The strikers made an at
tempt to capture the steamer. In the
meantime the police appeared on the
scene and a severe conflict followed
which resulted in the mob being driven
off the dock. In the struggle several
men were seriously injured The
strikers then turned their attention to
the offices of the Shipping Federation. an

OLD HEFF AND BIG KID.
How a Famous Yale Athlete Saved a
Tough Characters Life.

TACOMA, Wash, April Wv. W. Hef-
felfinger, the famous rusher of the Yale
foot ball team, is hero in the eyes of
the people of Skykomish, one of the
toughest towns in the West, because he
had the nerve to face their fury and pre-
vent them from hanging bully and des-
perado whom they hated and feared.
''Old Heff'' is in the army of men that
Jim Hill brought to the Northwest n
the construction of his railroad to Puget
Sound He has been drifting slowly
westward as the work of constructing
the railroad progressed. A few weeks
ago he landed at Skykomish, which is
undoubtedly one of the toughest towns
that has been opened in the West in the
last 10 years. 1t is in the Cascade Noun
tains, about $50 miles northeast from
Tacoma, on the line of the Great NORTH
ern Railroad. 1t has population of
about 400, and half of this number are
men and women of the worst class, who
have no fear of God or man.
A big brutal fellow, known as "Big
Kid" has been the ''terror'' of the town.
The s'Kid'' always has his guns with
him and he was never slow in bringing
them into play if occasion required. He
has been known in the Northwest for
several years and few men cared to cross
him.
Heffelfnger is an assistant paymaster
in the employ of the Great Northern.
On Saturday last the pay car passed
over the road, and the men were paid
for the month. Skykomish burst into
a roar of excitement.
BY nightfall several railroad men
struck the town and complained that
they had been robbed. Soon the whole
town was in an uproar about the robber-
les.
About 200 men congregated and they
began discussing means of protecting
themselves The men decided that if
the "Kid'' was out of the world there
would be fewer shooting scrapes and
robberies.
''We want spokesman shouted two
or three voices, and several yelled in
answer, 'sWhat's the matter with Heffel-
inger?''
Giles all right roared hundred
voices, and the big man from Yale was
pushed to the front He urged the men
to keep quiet, and led them through the
streets that run between the ill-arranged
cabins and frame shanties.
Arriving at the ''hangout'' of Big Kid,
Heffelinger stepped forward and said
''Kid, we have come to the conclusion
that you are not wanted in this town
We will allow you until o'clock tomor-
row (Monday( morning to leave Skyko-
mish.,'
Tl'sNo, nor yelled the crowd. "Hang
him! Hang himr' The cry was taken
up, and in an instant 200 men were fran
ically crying Hang him! Hang himr'
'.Stand back commanded the man
from Yale. keep cool, men; listen to
reason Revolvers were drawn, but
Heffelfinger stood unarmed and held the
crowd at bay. He talked to them, the
crowd listened, but soon broke out again
in wild cry for the death of the kid" ;"
.Boys, you can't have this man." This
declaration seemed to astonish the crowd.
The men who had been yelling the loud
est became quiet. Revolvers were lower
ed, and Yale's old athlete was master OF
the situation. big Kid left instantly.
Since the affair the railroad men swear
by Heffelfinger.

STOCK DRIvaN BEFORE IT.
Prairie Fire Sweeping arom County to
County in Nebraska.

HYANNIs, Neb., April IA prairie
is raging southwest and east of this
place. 1t crossed into this county at
$50 p. m. Wednesday, and has ragged
before high wind since that time. 1t
has passed over large part of Denel,
most all of Grant and the northern part
of Arthur counties. The wind was first
from the northwest, which carried it fast
far to the south, when it changed
to the south and the fire is now
burning north with wonderful
speed, driving before it cattle,
horses and stock of various kinds, and
leaving in it's wake dire destruction.
Crowd after crowd of ranchmen have
turned out and fought, but all to no pur-
pose. All the ranges and most of the
hay will be destroyed, and if April
storms should prevail the stock will die
in droves and by hundreds. The fire still

NEW YORK, April IA Washington
despatch to the Sun says: Maurice J.
Power arrived here this evening and
went to the White House for another in
terview with the President with regard
to his application for the postmastership.
More important than the arrival of Mr..
Power, however, is the coming visit of
Lieut.-Gov. Sheehan. He will in COM
pany with Senator Murphy and possibly
Senator Hill, call upon President Cleve-
land as promptly as an appointment can
be arranged, for the purpose of having
full and free consultation on the import
ant subject of the distribution of the
Federal patronage in New York state.
Senator Murphy has consented to go with
Mr.. Sheehan to the White House, and,
indeed, it is not impossible that he sug-
gested the Lieutenant Governor visit.
The New York senators and their
friends realize that the so-called anti
Cleveland Democrats in the state are at a
disadvantage because of the fact that no
applications in their behalf have been
placed on file in Washington, and that
therefore the President may feel free to
infer that they do not wish for recogni-
ton by the administration. So far as the
Senators are concerned, they are not in
clined to ask any favors, but as the anti
snappers do not hesitate to demand what
| they want, it might be well, it is thought,
| for those members of the regular Demo-
| cratic organization who intend to be ap-
plicants for office to say so now, so that
| hereafter it cannot be said that they were
| ignored because they did not make their
| wants known.
| So far as can be learned here it has
not been the intention of the President
| to fill the New York offices at present,
except in cases where prompt action is
demanded by needs of the public SER
vice. In fact, it is thought by some
New York Democrats here that all i'm
| portant appointments will be held back
until the early summer, when they can
the existing Democratic organization
throughout the state. 1t has been
deemed wise, therefore, in view of these
facts and suppositions, that Senator Muir
ply and Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, as the
representatives of the regular Demo
cratic organization, should know just
| w at the administration intends to do.
1t is possible, also, that at the coming
interview with the President, or soon
thereafter, Mr.. Sheehan will place on
file the names of certain Democrats
whose appointments to the important
Federal offices in the state would meet
with the approval of the state central
committee and New York Democrats
| generally.

United States Authorities Watching sup-
posed Filibusters.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 1.-THE Span
ish authorities on the island of Cuba
have been forced to give credence to the
alleged filibuster expedition now organ
izing at Key West and expected to leave
at any time. This fact was manifested
in despatch received at this place on
Monday. The Spanish Consul here has
been ordered to prevent the elimination
of any such movement. The Spanish
authorities in Cuba had up to this time
received the reports of vague rumors,
but now they firmly believe in the ex-
istence of afilibuster movement, and al
so in it's departure at an early day. The
Consul has consulted with the federal
officers, and as result the entire GUS
toms force has been ordered out to pa
troll the beach around Key West.
They are very reticent at present, but
it is learned that should the 5000 people
depart. the small force on board the rev.
enue cutter, the only United States YES
sci at Key West, would be inadequate.
1t is understood that she will be rein
forced by two other cutters as soon as
expedient. The McLane is lying in the
harbor with steam up, ready to get un-
der way at moments notice. All the
cutters boats are stored with arms and
provisions, with the crews in readiness
to jump to their arms to intercept any
vessel going into OF leaving the harbor.
The liberty of the officers and crew eff
the McLane has been suspended. All
vessels entering or leaving are boarded
and examined by the McLane's men.
1t is believed by many here that a
schooner now in the vicinity of Key West
will convey the expedition, while many
claim that steamer has been purchased
for the purpose by the Cuban Junta,
which has headquarters in New York.

THEIR OWN MEATHER CLERKS.
Mariners To Be Taught How to Locat,

Mariners To Be Taught How to Locate
Storms.
WASHINGTON, April Tt is proposed
further to improve the useful pilot chart
issued monthly from the photographic
Office in the navy department. The off
GERS here are working up set of in
structions, which will appear with the
charts, beginning about July, and which
will serve as a guidance to mariners in
prognosticating their own weather day
by day.
TheseE instructions are such as have
been found reliable indications of the
weather on the ocean, and not only have
to do with the usual signs of the sailors,
but also with the thermometrical and
barometrical readings. They embrace
the various methods of judging the
weather of tomorrow from the simple
signs of the ''ancient Mariner" who
found premonition in the circles around
the moon, to something quite scientific
and reliable.
The photographic Office hopes to OBJ
tain during the next year additional
sources of information to those now pos
sessed. The laying of the cable be-
tween the Azores and Brest will afford a
means of knowing the weather in the
central Western Atlantic, and will fur
nish reports from a part of the ocean
now without cable connection with the
mainland The existing connections
with Bermuda and the Wost Indies and
the mail reports which come in daily
from steamers and sailing vessels furnish
an immense amount OF information
which is the basis of the forecasts from
the photographic office.
