A FARMERS CRAZY ACT.
He Murders His Family and Attempts
His Own Life.


William Nonemacher a farmer living nine
miles southeast of Amigo, Wis, murdered
his wife and three children about 10 o'clock
Saturday night, and then made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to take his own life. The
deed was not discovered until Sunday after
noon at o'clock, and the news reached
Amigo yesterday morning.
At the inquest Nonemacher made a full
confession. He said the crops were poor
and he was afraid OF starving: that his
wifes parents were in Quebec. where they
had come all the way from Germany ard
wanted money, and he had none to send.
He had intended to kill his family Friday
night, but changed his plan to Saturday
night. After the family was asleep he went
out and got an ak and returned to do the
deed. He said he killed his wife first by
three swinging blows on the left temple.
He then went into the next room and killed
Joseph. six years old, and Willie, four years
old. He struck both boys on the head
twice.
Returning to the room where his wife lay.
he picked UP his year-old baby, held her in
head He then went to the barn. climbed
up to the roof and jumped twenty feet to
the floor. sustaining injuries to the spine
afternoon two of Fred Nonemacher's little
children went over and saw the clothes on
the bed all bloody and ran home and told
their father, who summoned the coroner,
and they searched for his brother.
The coroners jury returned a verdict that
the wife and children came to their death
by an AK in the hands of William None
macher. in accordance with his confession.
A visit to the scene of the murders dis
closed the horrible sight. The mother lay
on her left side with gaping wound In the
temple. The baby was in the cradl, beside
the bed in sleeping posture. The boys
were in the bed in the next room In q pool
OF blood. The father, as he lay on the floor
of the kitchen paralyzed. but conscious.
without the least sign of sorrow or regret,
talked as calmly about the murders as he
would about killing a pig.

filled with anxious people.
The entire strip has been thoroughly ex-
amined, and those who have been for
months along the border OF the western

lions along the border further east, where
the land is tillable. They have found that
the alkali and gypsum lands OF the western
half present obstacles that cannot be over

and plenty of water.
There are over 1000 900 acres Of the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe land yet subject to pre-
emption, but 1t Is considered worthless and
is rejected. In every camp along the
northern and southern borders are men de-
nouncing "sooners," meaning those who
have spied out the land. and yet there is
not one of those who is not thoroughly
coveted lands.
There Is the utmost anxiety regarding the
location of the county seats. Every person
believes there will be one, IL not two, large
towns, and they are anxious to be among
the first spectators in town lots. The prin-
cipal city will most likely be near the

MIR. ENTwisTLE's ESTIMATES.
What II VIII Cost to Run the Inspec-
tor of Buildings once.


Mr.. Thomas b. Entwisle, the inspector of
buildings, made his annual report to the
District Commissioners today. The report
is as follows:
have the honor to submit estimates
for the expenses Of this office, the care of
the District building and repairs to build
ings owned by the District Of Columbia for
the year ending June 80. 1895: Salary Of the
inspector of buildings. s.. 400; chief clerk and
architect, 1880; one assistant inspector of
buildings, $500. and one at 81, 900; one as
sistant on elevators. fire escapes and other
duties, $1,000; clerk. $780, messenger. $3.50;
contingent expenses, $500; total for Office
$3.50
Care Of the District building-One steam
engineer, $500; janitor 500; three laborers
81, 40s50; total, s3,OOs.50.
900; police stations. s., 900; fire engine houses.
So, 500; market houses, 81 500; hay scales
$3.50; Police Court buildings. $500; interior of
District building. $500; total. $3.50
build the main building OF the Georgetown
market, ii being in a dangerous condition.
This will cost $500.
I'm submitting the above estimates for
the year ending June 80. 1895. l beg leave
to state that II is an absolute necessity
and of the greatest importance to the
preparation made for two more assistants
on general inspection, as the present force
Is insufficient to control the construction
of buildings. The field is the entire Dis
trict. and my time is principally taken up
in the Office and on the District buildings.
1t is also necessity that we have one
more clerk, as at present ii is next to i'm
possible to keep up the current work and
the records. The salaries OF the assist
ants, the architect and clerk are very
small for the services required, but hav-
ing repeatedly asked that they be. in
creased without success l Judge that 1t Is
useless to again make the request. There
is no department under the District gov
eminent in which there is so much work
expected of the employees as this. and they
should certainly be compensated for their
services, especially as the income OF the
Office is in excess of the expenses"

the Recent shindy.
In the house of commons yesterday
Prime Minister Gladstone. replying TO a
question asked by Mr.. John Lloyd whar-
ton. which question was prompted by the
hand-to-hand conflict that occurred In the
house last Thursday night. said that doubt
less it would be for the general convent
ence of the house and in the interests OF
good order IL an arrangement should be
arrived at by means Of which the support
ers Of the government and the members of
the opposition might sit on opposite sides
of the house.
Mr.. William Hunter then asked IL Mr..
Gladstone had taken into consideration the
injury done the honor and dignity of the
house and IL the assaults committed by
members on Thursday evening were to be
allowed to pass without punishment being
inflicted upon the offenders.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that he would prob
ably answer these questions today.
Mr.. Henry Labouchere referred to a
statement made in the Pail Mall Gazette
by Mr.. William Fisher with reference to
his assault upon Mr.. John William Logan.
He suggested that Mr.. Logan be permit
ted to reply to Mr.. Fishers statement.
Speaker Peel said he thought IL would
conduce to a peaceful solution of the mat
ter IL both Mr.. Fisher and Mr.. Logan ad-
dressed the house.
Mr.. Fisher, amid cries of Logan" 10
gan" arose and expressed deep regret for
the part he had taken in the ARRAY. He
thought, he said. that Mr.. Logan intended
to assault him or Mr.. Carson, and IL was
for this reason that he mixed up In the
trouble. He was greatly distressed at hav-
ing created disorder in the house
Mr.. Logan then emphatically denied that
he had intended to assault any one and
said he deeply regretted that he had been
concerned in the affair.
Mr.. Gladstone said that the explana-
tions were satisfactory TO him, and he
hoped the matter would be allowed to
drop.
The Right Hon. A. ]. Balfour and Mr.
Justin Mccarthy also expressed themselves
as satisfied. Mr.. Mccarthy, however, pro-
tested against the idea that the row was
due to the Irish members

Wants to Manage His Own Affairs.

This morning Sanford NJ Waters by Mr..
A. A. Lipscomb. filed a petition for the dis
charge Of his wife as committee on his es-
tate. and Justice Cole directed a rule TO
issue to her requiring that on or before the
9TH instant she show cause why she should
not be discharged. Mr.. Waters states that
on September s. 1890 he was declared by a
jury to be a lunatic incapable of attending
his business affairs, and an order was
passed appointing Martha A. Waters. his
wife, committee. He was committed to
the Government Hospital for the Insane.
where he remained till April l5 last, when
he was formally discharged. He states that
he is Of sound mind and perfectly capable
of managing his estate. His wife, as such
committee, he says, has received large
sums OF money, amounting TO several
thousand dollars. and has disbursed the
same on her own account. and, although
frequently requested to submit the accounts
to inspection, she refuses to do so and in
sists on acting as his committee. She has
drawn monthly $50 of z. p. Snyder, and, he
asserts, refuses to pay IL over TO him. He
represents that. in order to still convert TO
her own use his income, she has gone to
Sanitary Off1cer Frank, DIR. Godding and
others. seeking to have him returned to the
asylum. With the petition he files about
dozen affidavits.

PEARY Is DIsHEARTENED.
The Arctic Explorer Experiencing q
Series of Aggravatfng Delays.

Series of Aggravating Delays.
A ST. Johns. NF., special says: By the
mail steamer Windsor Lake. from Labra-
dor, intelligence has been received here of
the Peary expedition steamer Falcon. She
left here on July Is and arrived at Battle
Harbor, the chief settlement OF Labrador,
on the 18th.
The passage was very rough and the ship
experienced some damage. Heavy seas
swept her decks, and the eight donkeys
which he carried on the forepart were ex-
posed to the full fury of the elements. From
the exposure they suffered they were per-
ishing when they got there, and Peary was
compelled. though time was most valuable
to remain two days and land them 30 they
might recuperate. and they improved some
what
He tried to purchase dogs there but could
not succeed. He then sailed for Turnavick.
and there made another effort to get the
necessary number of dogs, but the people
demanded such exorbitant prices that he
could or would not purchase.
After exhausting all effort he was forced
to go on to Hopedale, which ne reached on
July -, and here he was again unsuccess-
full. The prices demanded for the dogs were
too great, and he would have to visit other
northern parts to get them. Here the mail
steamer met Lieut.. Peary. and the donkeys
were in such bad condition that he was con-
templating killing them.
,Peary was seriously disheartened at this
III luck. He was sure he would have Sc
cured the dogs before then and been able
to sail for Greenland. The serious trouble
he said, was that the season was growing
late, and every days delay rendered his
chance of getting there less.
On the last trip the Kite got to McCor-
mack bay on August 2, but now he did not
expect to leave Labrador before the end Of
July, as he would be obliged to get dogs to
have his expedition succeed, and 1t would
then take him three weeks at least to go to
his destination.
Then the landing of his stores would oc-
cupy much time, and the Falcon would, per-
haps, be caught by the ice forming in the
early winter and be compelled to remain
there till next spring.
On the other hand, an early winter might
probably have the effect of rendering II
impossible for him to reach Bowdoin bay
at all, in which event he would be forced
to return. He was going to Okkak when
the steamer left.
